One of the most beloved musicals in the canon, Lerner & Loewe's 1956 classic will open in April 2018 in a new revival directed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher. A My Fair Lady revival on Broadway oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

I will demur until it is revealed with relationship in the musical has been changed to homosexual, and/or if Eliza has been altered to Elijah in a dress.

A couple of my kids live out of state. When they came to visit us in MD, they had plans to go see the Lion King in NYC. Since there were several kids going, I took the day off to drive them up. They wanted me to go with them to the show.
“Nope” I went to one Broadway show and was bored out of my skull.
I saw Miss Saigon during its first go-round. Aside from the star of the show (the full-sized Huey hanging over the stage) it was a dud.
My Fair Lady, on the other hand, is a great show.
Miss Saigon is an embarrassment. Avoid at all costs, a wild waste of money.
Bartlett Sher is a good, solid director who doesn’t make straight characters gay or any of the other nonsense so many B’way types are into.
I saw a London production with Jonathan Price in which he and Pickering were in some sort of homeoerotic thing. YUCK!
i would not doubt that transgenderism will rear its ugly head.
Too late. :( The wife and kids wanted to see it. I would have rather just taken the cash and hang out in Times Square while they went to the show.
I saw Mr. Sher’s revival of “King & I”. That was amazing.
Will "she" be a transvestite?
Wasn’t that beautiful? Did you see his amazing South Pacific?
Bartlett Sher is a very accomplished director who sticks to the original intent of these musicals. Is this being done at Lincoln Center?
It’s a dreadful show, full of bad music, anti-American crap. Jonathan Price seems to always get into bad productions. Perhaps because he’s a non-musical talent??! Of course, I’m sure they have another incompetent male lead in this one.
Yes the Lady revival will be at Lincoln Center. I did not see “South Pacific” because I was still living on the Left Coast.
I served with the Brits in Basrah in 2007, I was amazed the everyone of them seemed to have a different accent. And trying to understand Scots was about impossible.
The classic song from My Fair Lady is so true. “Why can’t the English Speak English?”

Oh, then it’s going to be great. Also, I love Lincoln Center because there isn’t a bad seat in the house and you actually have room to cross your legs!
South Pacific was fantastic.
And all the critics will rave about it. And New York liberals will happily plop down $500 for a matinee ticket.
Who is the dude who will play My Fair Lady?.....
