Lincoln Center Theater's acclaimed Broadway revival of Lerner & Loewe's My Fair Lady is delighting crowds at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. The Tony-nominated production, starring Lauren Ambrose in the iconic role of Eliza Doolittle, has been filling the theater since opening in April, and this past week was no exception. The cheered staging filled the Beaumont to 91.62% and took in $1,183,506.00, both increases from the previous week. With talented Tony winner Rosemary Harris slated to join the production as Mrs. Higgins next month, now couldn't be a better time to make plans to see the celebrated production of a musical-theater classic.
