'My Fair Lady' Concert Waltzes Toward The East River This September

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Just you wait, Upper East Siders: A massive orchestra and chorus will bring "My Fair Lady" to an East River park on a loverly day in September.

The 26-piece orchestra and 13-person chorus supporting three lead singers will run through the entire musical on Sept. 12, once at 2 p.m. and again at 5 p.m.

Situated at Sutton Park on 56th Street near Sutton Place, city views will bring new life to the two-time Tony Award-winning musical.

"Overlooking the East River provides the ideal venue for performing these classic songs beloved by all audiences for ages," said Maureen Berman, Sutton Place Parks Conservancy Board Member.

Attendees can catch their favorite "My Fair Lady" songs including "Why Can't the English Learn to Speak?" and “With a Little Bit of Luck,” organizers said.

With a little bit of luck, you can snag a free ticket when sales go live Friday at 9 a.m. — though seats have already been preserved for residents of the Sunrise East 56th Street and Apsley assisted-living facilities.

Last year was the conservancy's first performance on the river, which featured the music of "South Pacific" on a fall day that was equally beautiful visually as it was aurally.
