Pygmalion Tickets

When Professor Henry Higgins comes across a poor, uneducated Cockney girl named Eliza Doolittle, he makes a bet that he can take Eliza from the gutters of London and pass her off as a society lady, simply by teaching her the correct dialect in which to speak. Higgins soon discovers that this task involves much more than knowledge; it involves patience and most importantly, an understanding of affairs of the heart. Pygmalion first appeared on Broadway in 1914 and was revived in 1927, 1938, 1945 and 1987. The play inspired the classic musical My Fair Lady, which premiered on Broadway in 1956. Roundabout Theatre Company has gathered a starry cast for this revival, the latest in its long association with the work of George Bernard Shaw: Claire Danes makes her Broadway debut as Eliza, matching wits with Tony-winning actor Jefferson Mays as Higgins.

Tickets at Todd Haimes Theatre

The Todd Haimes Theatre was built in 1918 by producers (and brothers) Arch and Edgar Selwyn and was originally named The Selwyn Theatre. Like many other theaters, it fell victim to the economic woes of the Great Depression and became a movie house in the 1930s.

The venue was a movie theater for almost 70 years, until it was purchased by the Roundabout Theatre Company in the late 1990s. After an expensive overhaul, it reopened as The American Airlines Theatre in 2000. In January 2024, the theater was renamed in memory of Roundabout Theatre Company's longtime artistic director and chief executive Todd Haimes.
