Lincoln Center Theater’s revival of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s My Fair Lady celebrates one year on Broadway at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, where it opened April 19, 2018. The production, directed by Bartlett Sher, went on to be nominated for 10 Tony Awards, later winning for Best Costume Design of a Musical (Catherine Zuber).
My Fair Lady features a 37 member cast, currently starring Laura Benanti as Eliza Doolitle, with Harry Hadden-Paton, Rosemary Harris, Danny Burstein, Allan Corduner, Christian Dante White, Linda Mugleston, and Clarke Thorell. Kerstin Anderson is Eliza at certain performances.

As previously reported, Alexander Gemignani is set to take over the role of Alfred P. Doolittle in My Fair Lady on Broadway beginning April 30.
Based on the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw—which, in turn, has its roots in the Greek myth of the same name—the show follows a flower seller of the London streets who wishes to work in a proper floral shop. When she overhears linguistics professor Henry Higgins wager that he can make any woman pass for a high society socialite, she seeks him out and offers to be his subject.
