★★★★ "A new West End leading lady is born in this sumptuous new production " - WestendTheatre.com The top line: Bartlett Sher gives London a sumptuous new production of this Broadway classic, that revels in the My Fair Lady cliches of Edwardian London seen through American eyes; but is also as fiercely intelligent as Eliza proves to be. A new West End leading lady is born in Amara Okereke’s performance as Eliza Doolittle. The production and direction: Bartlett Sher has brought his smash-hit Broadway revival of My Fair Lady to the London Coliseum, playing until 27 August 2022. Sher has gone back to both George Bernhard Shaw’s original play “Pygmalion,” on which My Fair Lady is based, and 1913 screenplay of Pygmalion, to make some small, but pretty significant additions to the book of the show. This, combined with his staging, proves pretty transformative - particularly at the end of the show when Eliza usually swoons into Henry Higgins’ arms. The cast: The West End has a new leading lady, and we don’t say that lightly given the breadth of talent currently on stage in London. Every few years someone extraordinary gets given the role of a lifetime, and another star is born! That star is Amara Okereke in the title role of Eliza Dolittle.  She is everything you want Eliza to be, vulnerable, funny, charming, frightened, but with so much more than you usually see, not least Eliza as a hero of the story rather than a down trodden puppet manipulated by Higgins. What’s more she sings the part beautifully, with a trembling grit in the flower girl scenes, to a joyous awakening in I Could Have Danced All Night, to a powerful, confident Show Me and I Could Have Danced All Night reprise in Act II. Harry Hadden-Paton is a slick Henry Higgins, as he revives his Broadway performance, which earned him a Tony nomination. What’s more he is as believable and rounded a character as we’ve ever seen of Higgins, which is no small praise.  Vanessa Redgrave as Higgins’ mother, is a much needed star name in this big production, but she looks unsteady on her feet (which is one way to add onstage tension). In terms of the other leads, Malcolm Sinclair given a lovely performance as Colonel Pickering, but Stephen K Amos feels miscast as Alfred P Doolittle, lacking the easy comic charm to carry off Eliza’s wayward, chancer of a father. Sharif Afifi as Eliza’s suitor Freddy Eynsford-Hill sings beautifully and breaths new life, particularly some quirky comedy, into this usually dull part. The creatives: The Coliseum stage is vast, and as a working opera house means the orchestra pit places the stage even further away from the audience. Michael Yeargan’s sets manage to bring the action closer to the audience, especially in Henry Higgins’ home, which capitalises on the Coliseum revolve to slickly present a series of spaces. His study, the main set of the show, is strangely cramped and claustrophobic, which is maybe a design choice, maybe a budget limitation for this short-run production.  Catherine Zuber’s costumes are glamorous, beautiful and everything you need them to be. The show has never sounded better, with Robert Russell Bennett’s musical arrangements and Gareth Valentine’s musical direction ravishing Frederick Loewe’s glorious score - surely one of the great musicals score of all time.   Book tickets to My Fair Lady at the London Coliseum My Fair Lady is booking until 27 August 2022 at the London Coliseum.

Bartlett Sher's Tony award-winning Broadway production of Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady is hurtling to the West End, and with plenty of style! Now in rehearsals, this sumptuous new show opens on 7 May 2022 at the London Coliseum, for a limited Summer season until 27 August. And the marketing and PR people are doing a great job building buzz up to the opening. My Fair Lady has good form in getting theatregoers excited ahead of its opening night. The original London production of My Fair Lady opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 1958. PR supremo Vivienne Byerley, who worked for the show's producer Binkie Beaumont at HM Tennent,  was said to have “whipped London theatregoers into frenzied anticipation” leading up to the opening, and even convinced the Daily Express to print a countdown headline (“FOUR MORE DAYS”) every day leading up to the big night! This month's issue of Tatler has the most gorgeous front cover of Amara Okereke, who plays Eliza Doolittle in the production (see images below). The accompanying Tatler photoshoot story of Okereke is ravishing, including hats by Emily-London. Also, the Coliseum will host a special retail pop-up throughout the run of My Fair Lady. Broadway florists boo•kay will make their West End debut, running a pop-up florists in the foyer of the Coliseum, staffed by out-of-work West End performers. boo-kay was started during the pandemic by musicals actor and dancer Robbie Fairchild (An American in Paris), who trained in floristry at the Covent Garden Academy of Flowers. They are also running Friday Flowers, combining flowers with performance, and "intimate" floristry classes! Given the My Fair Lady story is about a young Cockney selling flowers in Covent Garden, it all feels very appropriate. Broadway director Bartlett Sher is a busy man at the moment, with another show also on stage in London: the Broadway transfer of his To Kill a Mockingbird, now playing at the Gielgud Theatre starring Rafe Spall. Plus it was announced this week that Sher is tackling another Lerner & Loewe musical - this time Camelot, opening at the Lincoln Center Theatre in November, adapted by Aaron Sorkin, who also adapted To Kill a Mockingbird. The cast of this new London production of My Fair Lady - the first in the West End for 21 years since Cameron Mackintosh transferred the National Theatre production, includes Amara Okereke as Eliza, Harry Haddon-Paton as Henry Higgins, Dame Vanessa Redgrave as Mrs Higgins, Sharif Afifi as Freddy, and Maureen Beattie as Mrs Pearce.

A brand new production of classic Lerner & Loewe musical Camelot is coming to Broadway next season. The Lincoln Center Theater is bringing the much loved musical to New York audiences, reimagined for the 21st century. The production will boast a book by Oscar and and Emmy Award winner Aaron Sorkin, based on the original book by Alan Jay Lerner, and directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher. Sorkin and Sher are reuniting following their acclaimed Broadway production of To Kill a Mockingbird, which has recently transferred to London and is currently playing at the Gielgud Theatre starring Rafe Spall. Barlett Sher is also transferring his Tony Award winning Broadway production of Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady, which opens at the London Coliseum on 7 May 2022 starring Amara Okereke, Harry Haddon-Paton, Dame Vanessa Redgrave and Sharif Afifi. Lerner & Loewe's Camelot will begin previews on 3 November 2022 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. Book tickets to To Kill a Mockingbird at the Gielgud Theatre Book tickets to My Fair Lady at the London Coliseum More about Camelot Based on "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White, CAMELOT is Lerner and Loewe's 1960 follow up to My Fair Lady. The story is about the quest for democracy, striving for justice, and the tragic struggle between passion and aspiration, between lovers and kingdoms. This epic and timely tale features the iconic characters King Arthur, Queen Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot as well as the beloved original score with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe which includes "If Ever I Would Leave You," "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" and the title song "Camelot." ALAN JAY LERNER (Original Book/Lyrics) wrote some of America's best loved and enduring stage and movie musicals with Frederick Loewe over a period of more than 25 years: Life of the Party, What's Up, The Day Before Spring, Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, My Fair Lady, Camelot, and Gigi. He also wrote Love Life with Kurt Weill, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever and Carmelina with Burton Lane, Coco with Andre Previn, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with Leonard Bernstein, and Dance a Little Closer with Charles Strouse. He wrote the libretto and/or lyrics for the following films: An American in Paris, Gigi, The Little Prince, Royal Wedding, and film versions of his plays. He wrote two books: The Street Where I Live and The Musical Theatre: A Celebration. Mr. Lerner died in 1986. FREDERICK LOEWE (Music) wrote the scores for some of America's most memorable musicals, including My Fair Lady, Camelot, Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, and Gigi. Among his most famous songs with lyricist-partner Alan Jay Lerner are "Almost Like Being in Love," "I Could Have Danced All Night," and "Thank Heaven for Little Girls." A musical prodigy, Loewe was born in Berlin in 1901 and, at 13, was the youngest piano soloist to play with the Berlin Philharmonic. Struggling to find work on Broadway after arriving in the U.S. in 1924, Loewe worked at odd jobs and wrote with several other lyricists until approaching Lerner at New York's Lambs Club in 1942 about collaborating on a show - thus beginning one of Broadway's most extraordinary partnerships. Loewe died in Palm Springs in 1988.
