One of the most beloved musicals of all time, My Fair Lady follows the spirited Eliza Doolittle as an unlikely bet transforms her from a Cockney flower seller into the toast of high society-but her greatest transformation comes from discovering her own voice. Featuring iconic songs including 'Wouldn't It Be Loverly?,' 'The Rain in Spain,' and 'I Could Have Danced All Night,' this Tony Award-winning classic continues to captivate audiences of every generation. Elegant, funny, and deeply moving, My Fair Lady is a theatrical masterpiece you'll fall in love with all over again.
My Fair Lady is recommended for those ages 8+.
'What a treat to get to bring this incredibly talented group of performers to New Canaan to share this gorgeous music and timeless tale. Whether you grew up with My Fair Lady or it's your first time, it's sure to be an absolute delight.' -Lorah Haskins, producer
'We are so excited to finally be producing a Golden Age musical. We know how beloved My Fair Lady is and we are thrilled to be presenting it to our community!' -Kate Simone, director
