Doolittle, Wade McCollum as Professor Zoltan Karpathy, Kevin Pariseau as Colonel Pickering, Gayton Scott as Mrs. Pearce, and Sam Simahk as Freddy Eynsford-Hill.

"Being able to do MY FAIR LADY at The Kennedy Center seems like the perfect way to kick off our tour in a sophisticated and extraordinary city," says director Bartlett Sher. "The combination of George Bernard Shaw and Lerner + Loewe makes for one of the great musicals of all time, and we were able to explore it beautifully at Lincoln Center Theater. Shereen Ahmed is a luminous and revelatory Eliza who, with Laird Macintosh, a witty and happily misogynistic Higgins, make for an electrifying evening. We couldn't be happier to be here."
