The Lincoln Center Theatre production of My Fair Lady transfers to London’s West End in 2022 for a limited 16-week engagement at the London Coliseum. Tickets for My Fair are now on sale.
Nominated for 10 Tony Awards, this critically acclaimed production of My Fair Lady is directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher(The King and I) and will feature the English National Opera orchestra playing Frederick Loewe’s ravishing score.
Returning to the London stage for the first time in over 21 years, don’t miss this major new production of Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady. One of the most beloved musicals of all time, at its heart My Fair Lady is a story about class, gender and power. And it’s a musical comedy.
Performed by an outstanding company, My Fair Lady features much-loved songs including such classics as “I Could Have Danced All Night”, “The Rain in Spain”, “Get Me to the Church”, “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and “On the Street Where You Live.”
The original 1956 Broadway production starring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews won six Tony Awards including Best Musical and was hailed by The New York Times as “one of the best musicals of the century”. The film adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison continues to be one of the most cherished musical films of all time.
A once in a lifetime opportunity – this will be a limited engagement booking.
My Fair Lady is booking from 7 May 2022 until 27 August 2022 at the London Coliseum.
