My Fair Lady Tickets and Hotel

The Show
Based on George Bernard Shaw's classic Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is returning to the West End for the first time in 21 years, featuring star turns by Amara Okereke, Downton Abbey's Harry Haddon-Patton, and legendary comic Stephen K. Amos!
When cynical phonetics professor Henry Higgins decides, for a bet, to coach working-class cockney flower seller Eliza Dolittle in etiquette and diction, Higgins believes he has found the perfect opportunity to mould Eliza into what he considers a 'proper lady.' But Eliza is more interested in improving her career prospects than climbing the social ladder, and as the lessons progress, both student and teacher are gradually transformed.
My Fair Lady is packed with timeless songs like 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face,' all accompanied by the English National Opera Orchestra. The show is running for just 16 weeks, so this is the perfect opportunity to catch this historic musical.

History of My Fair Lady
My Fair Lady was first performed on Broadway in 1956, an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Although Shaw's play had long been considered impossible to 'musicalize,' My Fair Lady quickly became one of Broadway's most popular shows - it had grossed over $10 million by 1959, and its cast album was the best-selling recording in the U.S. in 1956. Since then, My Fair Lady has come to be considered a classic in its own right; its current West End run, the first since 2001, is the fourth time the show has played in London.
