‘My Fair Lady’ opens Aug. 8 at Ivoryton Playhouse with an intimate new production

This summer, Ivoryton Playhouse presents a bold new production of one of Broadway’s most cherished musicals. My Fair Lady opens August 7 and brings a fresh perspective to the beloved story, emphasizing the emotional complexity and evolving connection between Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins.

Featuring a lush two-piano arrangement of the iconic score, this intimate reimagining shifts the focus from grandeur to vulnerability, highlighting the themes of class, transformation, and human connection that lie at the heart of the story.

“This version leans into the vulnerability and tension of Shaw’s original play,” says Executive Producer Ben Hope. “We’re putting the spotlight squarely on the characters and their evolution—on what it means to be seen, heard, and valued in a world full of divides.”

We’re giving away four VIP tickets to Farmington Polo Club’s Saturday, August 2, 2025! Enter now on Instagram—giveaway ends August 1st at noon.

Directed by long-time Ivoryton collaborator Brian Feehan, this production features all the timeless songs audiences love—“I Could Have Danced All Night,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” and “On the Street Where You Live”—delivered with a renewed sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

Whether it’s a return visit or your first time experiencing it, this My Fair Lady offers a fresh take on a classic, inviting audiences to see the show as both an enduring favorite and a timely reflection on power, identity, and possibility.
