My Fair Lady

The Lincoln Center Theater’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning production of My Fair Lady comes to London in Summer 2022, the first major West End revival of Lerner & Loewe’s much-loved musical for 21 years.

This 16-week engagement at the London Coliseum is a truly loverly way to celebrate London’s theatre scene back in bloom!

My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady”. But who is really being transformed?

Directed by Bartlett Sher, this sublime production will feature the English National Opera orchestra playing Frederick Loewe’s ravishing score and a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner. My Fair Lady boasts a score including the classic songs 'I Could Have Danced All Night', 'Get Me to the Church on Time', 'Wouldn’t It Be Loverly', 'On the Street Where You Live', 'The Rain in Spain', and 'I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face'.

The My Fair Lady musical tells the story of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle and professor Henry Higgins. Henry believes he can finetune Eliza into a cultured woman in society, but Eliza feels trapped by her new acquaintance. The My Fair Lady story has been adapted slightly to suit a contemporary audience. In this revival, the future seems brighter for Eliza — she paves her own path in society that’s not dictated by a man.

My Fair Lady features a book and lyrics by famed American duo Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. Together, they worked on many musicals, including Brigadoon, Camelot, and Gigi. But My Fair Lady was their runaway success, setting a record as the longest-running Broadway musical of its time. Half a century later, and My Fair Lady has enjoyed a reinvigorated success on Broadway and in its current US national tour. So get ready to grow accustomed to My Fair Lady in London.
