My Fair Lady Target Audience

This whimsical, timeless classic has something for longtime fans of Broadway and newbies alike. My Fair Lady is suitable for most audiences, though the long runtime will make it difficult for the youngest Broadway fans, even with an intermission. Parents are advised to use their best judgment for children under 7.

My Fair Lady Runtime

While most Broadway shows run about 2 hours with intermission, My Fair Lady's official runtime is 2 hours and 55 minutes with one intermission, but as with any live show, it could run slightly shorter or slightly longer.
