REVIEW: A smashing, feminist “My Fair Lady” starring Lauren Ambrose

Review, Broadway, Musical

Lincoln Center Theater delivers a grand, first rate, feminist revival of Lerner and Loewe’s classic musical, “My Fair Lady”.  Perfectly keyed to this moment while honoring the greatness of its text and score, director Bartlett Sher hits another home run, and Lauren Ambrose and Harry Hadden-Paton give smashing, revolutionary performances as Eliza Doolittle and Professor Higgins.  A great revival of a great musical to end the season on a high note.

A sold-out “gala presentation” of the hauntingly glorious 1947 Lerner and Lowe musical “Brigadoon” plays New York City Center through Sunday—starring a stunning cast including Kelli O'Hara, Patrick Wilson, Stephanie J. Block, Aasif Mandvi, and Robert Fairchild—and you will want to catch it (if you can) before, like the mythical town of Brigadoon, it disappears for 100 years!
