My Fair Lady is the type of musical that barely needs an introduction, having often been called a ‘perfect musical’! Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, the show made its Broadway debut in 1956, and set a record for longest run up until that time. The revival opened on April 19, 2018 at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre, starring Lauren Ambrose, and directed by Bartlett Sher. With 10 Tony Award nominations, this is a must-watch show!
