Synopsis
In Edwardian London, Eliza Doolittle is a working class flower girl who dreams of one day opening her own shop. Feeling her job prospects are held back by her improper English, she agrees to take speech lessons from pompous phonetics professor Henry Higgins as part of a wager. Can she be coached out of her Cockney accent and transformed into an elegant, well-spoken lady who can blend in with high society?
Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady is an enchanting and comedic musical that explores the intersections of class, language, gender, and romance. The original 1956 Broadway run and the 1964 film adaptation, led by Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn respectively, collected 6 Tony awards and 8 Oscar awards between them, including Best Musical and Best Picture.
Featuring lush, iconic scores such as “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?” and “I Could Have Danced All Night”, Middleton Players Theatre’s Summer 2026 production of My Fair Lady will take place in the Middleton High School PAC Proscenium and will include full accompaniment by the Middleton Community Orchestra.
