My Fair Lady
​
Wednesday 21st - Saturday 24th May 2025
Lighthouse, Poole​
Poole and Parkstone Productions return to Lighthouse, Poole, with a dazzling new production of Lerner & Loewe’s beloved musical My Fair Lady, running from Wednesday 21st to Saturday 24th May.
Set in Edwardian London, the story follows the spirited flower girl Eliza Doolittle, who meets sharp-tongued phonetics professor Henry Higgins in Covent Garden Market. Intrigued, Higgins wagers that he can transform Eliza into a lady of high society simply by teaching her to speak “properly". But as tempers flare and lessons unfold, who is really being transformed?
Brimming with comedy, romance, and a score of timeless tunes, including Wouldn’t It Be Loverly, The Rain In Spain, I Could Have Danced All Night and On the Street Where You Live, My Fair Lady is a truly unmissable treat for all theatre lovers.
Performance Dates:
• Evening shows: Wednesday 21st – Saturday 24th May at 7:30pm
• Matinée: Saturday 24th May at 2:30pm
Tickets available now at www.lighthousepoole.co.uk or via the Lighthouse Box Office on

Established as Parkstone Vocal and Instrumental Society in 1919, P&P’s Musical Theatre Society has grown to become one of the best known musical theatre companies in the Bournemouth & Poole area.
They have performed a variety of shows from Oliver, to 42nd Street, Sweeney Todd, to Jesus Christ Superstar as well as their famous Autumn Concerts & smaller cabaret performances across the region.
The Players was set up in 2005 for members who enjoy performing straight plays.
The Players have had huge success with plays such as Rebecca, Steel Magnolias and A Bunch of Amateurs as well as our regular Summer Cocktails and One Act Plays series, even performing a show penned by one of their own members; Changing Fortunes.
P&P’s resident choir The Singers was founded in 1998, originally for members of the Musicals section who wanted to sing (but not to dance!) They have since become well-renowned for their precision, close harmonies and eclectic programmes.
Under the musical direction of Jane McDouall, The Singers perform two main concerts each year; in July & December, and often join with other sections of P&P to perform at a variety of other events throughout the year.
