First look: My Fair Lady production photos

News Story

We’ll never know what made it so exciting… our musical is officially open and our summer has truly begun here at CFT! Scroll through the production photos for your first look at our first ever production of My Fair Lady (we couldn’t believe it either!) and read some loverly comments from audiences following the preview performances this week.

My Fair Lady runs in the Festival Theatre for a strictly limited time until 5 September.

A woman with curly brown hair and a hat sits in the centre of four men. There is a metal bin, glowing orange from inside in front of them. A basket of flowers and a wheel barrow of straw are either side of the gorup. The men are looking and smiling at the women as she speaks to them. Two are sitting, the other two are standing and have their arms crossed and the other with his hands in his pockets. — Keziah Ibe as Eliza Doolittle with Joe Henry, Kody Mortimer, Jonathan Bourne & Nic Cain in My Fair Lady at Chichester Festival Theatre Image: Johan Persson 2026

Absolutely amazing! A triumph and well deserving of the standing ovation.

A red arm chair is behind him and rugs cover the floor. — Hadley Fraser as Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady at Chichester Festival Theatre Image: Johan Persson 2026

A woman in a purple dress and fascinator stands at the front of the stage. She has a defiant look, her eyebrows scrunched. The rest of the company have shocked expressions, some with their hands to their chest, others to their mouths. — Keziah Ibe as Eliza Doolittle and company in My Fair Lady at Chichester Festival Theatre Image: Johan Persson 2026

CFT have always delivered an exceptional summer musical. And yet again this is a triumph. It is brilliant!

A company of actors all face outwards in a group. They all have their arms outreached, some with cups in their hands. They are all smiling widely. A man in the centre is kneeling, his hat in his hands. They wear Edwardian working-class costumes. — Gary Milner as Alfred Doolittle and company in My Fair Lady at Chichester Festival Theatre Image: Johan Persson 2026
