About This Event

Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady is one of the most beloved musicals ever written, and this brand-new chamber production offers a glorious take on the classic. Directed by Maria Friedman, acclaimed musical theatre performer and director and the creative force behind the Tony Award-winning revival of Merrily We Roll Along , the story comes into sharper focus—intimate, engaging, and full of heart. At the centre is Eliza Doolittle, the sharp-tongued flower seller who collides with Professor Henry Higgins, played by Alan Cumming. One of Scotland’s most celebrated performers, Cumming brings his trademark wit and charisma, reimagining Higgins for a new audience. What begins as a battle of wills between teacher and pupil soon blossoms into something far more complex: a story of transformation, class, and the search for belonging. With favourites like Wouldn’t It Be Loverly , I Could Have Danced All Night and On the Street Where You Live , the songs are given fresh life in this chamber version, where every note and every word shines. Glorious in its simplicity, My Fair Lady feels both familiar and new—a sparkling, heartfelt celebration of a timeless classic.
