Join Opera North for a spectacular rendition of the much-loved musical, "My Fair Lady," coming to Leeds Playhouse from May 31 to June 29, 2024. This classic tale, originally penned by Lerner and Loewe, tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller who is transformed into a refined lady through the teachings of Professor Henry Higgins.

Based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady features one of musical theatre’s greatest scores, including: “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?” “With a Little Bit of Luck” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face.” Eliza Doolittle is a young flower seller with an unmistakable Cockney accent which keeps her in the lower rungs of Edwardian society. When Professor Henry Higgins tries to teach her how to speak like a proper lady, an unlikely friendship begins to flourish.
