My family goes to a Broadway show when we visit the kids grandparents in NY. I am being dragged to see Miss Saigon. YUCK! But this is something I would want to see.

I will demur until it is revealed with relationship in the musical has been changed to homosexual, and/or if Eliza has been altered to Elijah in a dress.

A couple of my kids live out of state. When they came to visit us in MD, they had plans to go see the Lion King in NYC. Since there were several kids going, I took the day off to drive them up. They wanted me to go with them to the show.
“Nope” I went to one Broadway show and was bored out of my skull.

I saw Miss Saigon during its first go-round. Aside from the star of the show (the full-sized Huey hanging over the stage) it was a dud.
My Fair Lady, on the other hand, is a great show.

Miss Saigon is an embarrassment. Avoid at all costs, a wild waste of money.
Bartlett Sher is a good, solid director who doesn’t make straight characters gay or any of the other nonsense so many B’way types are into.
I saw a London production with Jonathan Price in which he and Pickering were in some sort of homeoerotic thing. YUCK!

i would not doubt that transgenderism will rear its ugly head.

A My Fair Lady revival on Broadway Will "she" be a transvestite?

I was fortunate to have grown up (50s-60s) on "Lawn Guyland" about 20 miles east of Manhattan. For school field trips
we'd go into the city for theater productions, opera, etc.
First saw My Fair Lady this way and it has remained a favorite - especially the movie.
On the other hand, we also saw Verdi's La Traviata, that scared the krap out of me, and turned me off opera for good.

I served with the Brits in Basrah in 2007, I was amazed the everyone of them seemed to have a different accent. And trying to understand Scots was about impossible.
The classic song from My Fair Lady is so true. “Why can’t the English Speak English?”

No doubt the Rex Harrison Professor Higgins, an Edwardian gentleman part, will be played by a black hip hop artist. Eliza Doolittle will be a transsexual oriental. Most of the original music will be discarded for new rap songs.
And all the critics will rave about it. And New York liberals will happily plop down $500 for a matinee ticket.
