Bartlett Sher’s acclaimed Broadway transfer will mark the first West End revival of Lerner and Lowes classic musical in over two decades. Sher’s glorious production at the Lincoln Center Theatre in 2018 ran for over 500 performances and was nominated for 10 Tony Awards. That production starred Harry Hadden-Paton as Henry Higgins alongside Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under) in the role of Eliza Doolittle. It also featured the last stage appearance of Dame Diana Rigg as Higgin’s mothers.
My Fair Lady will play a limited 16-week engagement at the Coliseum opening on 7 May 2022 and playing through to 27 August 2022.
My Fair Lady is based on Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion and has book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.
