My Fair Lady is a beautiful musical based on George Bernard Shaw’s play, Pygmalion. Acclaimed Professor and confirmed bachelor Henry Higgins makes a wager with his linguistic colleague Colonel Pickering that in six months he can pass off “gutter snipe” Eliza Doolittle as a duchess at an embassy ball. Through arduous training, Eliza learns how to speak English “properly,” and transforms into a lady respected and adored by all classes. Along the way she bewitches young Freddy Einsford-Hill into falling in love with her, and convinces a supposed linguistics expert that she is royalty but where can she go from there?? Memorable music and songs such as ‘With a litle bit of luck’, ‘I could have danced all night’ and ‘Get me to the Church on time’

Tickets £8-£16
