New York’s Lincoln Center Theater’s critically acclaimed and multi award-winning production of Lerner & Loewe’s much loved My Fair Lady transfers to the London Coliseum for a limited summer engagement in what will be the first major West End revival of the show for 21 years.

Directed by Bartlett Sher, the London production will feature 36 musicians from the English National Opera’s award-winning orchestra playing Frederick Loewe’s ravishing score, making it the largest orchestra in the West End.
