It's no accident My Fair Lady once held the record of longest running theatrical production in history! And it's no wonder everyone—not just Henry Higgins—falls in love with Eliza Doolittle!

A hit Broadway musical, a popular film version staring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison that won eight Academy Awards, and now Phoenix brings this timeless score and even more timely story of a girl from the gutter being given a chance to prove that she is the fairest lady of them all!

Get transported back in time to Edwardian London on the wings of this brilliant and witty Lerner & Lowe score including: "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?," "The Rain in Spain," "Get Me to the Church on Time" and more!
