Broadway Grosses: My Fair Lady Plays to Sold-Out Crowds in Loverly Broadway Return

The beloved Lerner & Loewe musical My Fair Lady is back on Broadway in a sumptuous Lincoln Center Theater production starring stage-and-screen actress Lauren Ambrose. The highly anticipated revival, which started previews at the Vivian Beaumont Theater on March 15, has been delighting audiences for the past month, filling the theater with cheering fans nightly. In this past post–school vacation week, which typically sees a drop-off in theatergoing, My Fair Lady brought in a strong gross of $947,803.00, filling the Beaumont to 100% capacity. As the show's April 19 official opening approaches, now couldn't be a better time to make plans to experience the stage classic in person.
