My Fair Lady

Closed

The Lincoln Center Theater’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning production of MY FAIR LADY is now playing at the London Coliseum, 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?

Amara Okereke stars as Eliza Doolittle. Okereke was recently seen in the Almeida’s acclaimed production of Spring Awakening and she won the Stage Debut Award for her performance as Cosette in Les Miserables. She’s joined by Harry Hadden-Paton who reprises his performance as Henry Higgins which he originated at the Lincoln Center in New York and for which he received Tony and Grammy award nominations. Dame Vanessa Redgrave has returned to the West End stage for the first time since her appearance in The Inheritance in 2018, in the role of Mrs Higgins. Stephen K Amos plays the role of Alfred P. Doolittle, and Malcolm Sinclair plays the role of Colonel Pickering. 

Directed by Bartlett Sher, this sublime production features 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.
