My Fair Lady run time

Does anyone have an idea what the run time will be for My Fair Lady, intermission included? I don't need the exact number of minutes, but for example, will it be a 2-hr show or closer to 3 hrs? Trying to plan the itinerary for my trip.

My Fair Lady run time

I think you can safely plan on a solid 3 (or close to it).

The movie - widely considered one of the more faithful stage to screen adaptations, with no cut songs and as far as I’m aware no added material - runs 2 hours 50 minutes, and (at least on the most recent official Blu-Ray release) that’s including only a 1-minute ‘intermission’.

The last Broadway revival, with Melissa Errico and Richard Chamberlain, had an official running time of 2 hrs 55 minutes.

It’s a good one but a long one.

I would GUESS closer to 3.

My Fair Lady run time

Closer to three hours. Also consider if you are attending a preview - the first preview of THE KING & I ran for a glorious 3 hours and 15 minutes.

My Fair Lady run time

I saw a regional production in November that ran just shy of three hours on opening night.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

My Fair Lady run time

With Bartley Sher directing the run time will at least be 3.5 hours +, maybe by opening he’ll have it cut to 3 hours, if we’re lucky.
