My Fair Lady at The Lincoln Center Theater

Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?

Frequently called “the perfect musical,” My Fair Lady is one of the most celebrated musicals of all time. Presented on the incomparable stage at The Lincoln Center Theater, My Fair Lady returns to Broadway for the first time in 25 years!

Follow Eliza Doolittle as she transforms from cockney girl to Victorian lady, with lessons from Professor Henry Higgins. On the way to high society, the two clash harshly, but form an unlikely bond, that is threatened by an aristocratic suitor.

Boasting a score that contains such now-classic songs as 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, My Fair Lady was hailed by The New York Times as “one of the best musicals of the century.”
