My Fair Lady
​
Wednesday 21st - Saturday 24th May 2025
Lighthouse, Poole​
​
Tickets are on sale now for our production of the blooming loverly My Fair Lady!​
My Fair Lady follows Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl in Covent Garden, who by chance meets phonetics professor, Henry Higgins. Intrigued, Higgins makes a bet that he can teach Eliza to become a lady of high society; but who is really being transformed?
​
Brimming with comedy, romance, and a score of timeless tunes including Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?, I Could Have Danced All Night and On the Street Where You Live, My Fair Lady is an unmissable treat for all musical lovers.

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.
