Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's play and producer Gabriel Pascal's motion picture Pygmalion, My Fair Lady, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, premiered on Broadway on March 15, 1956. The legendary original production, directed by Moss Hart and designed by Oliver Smith and Cecil Beaton, starred Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, won six Tony Awards including Best Musical, and ran for 2,717 performances, making it, at the time, the longest-running musical in Broadway history.

This is the musical's first Broadway revival in 25 years. Ambrose had been set to star in Sher's planned 2012 Broadway revival of Funny Girl, which was indefinitely postponed because of fundraising issues before it began rehearsals.
