A lavish new production of Lerner & Loewe’s beloved musical My Fair Lady transfers from Broadway for a 16-week engagement at the London Coliseum.

My Fair Lady, based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, features a score brimming with timeless songs including “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face”, “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly”, and the glorious “I Could Have Danced All Night”.
