Becoming Eliza

Presented by His Majesty's Theatre.
Part of the Downstairs at The Maj 2022 Season.

In 2016, Anna O’Byrne won the role of a lifetime when she was hand-picked by Dame Julie Andrews to play Eliza in the 60th Anniversary production of My Fair Lady, which played at Sydney Opera House and on tour.

After enchanting audiences across the country, winning rave reviews along the way, Anna won the coveted Helpmann award for her extraordinary performance.

In Becoming Eliza, Anna O’Byrne reflects on her unique experience and shares stories about working intimately with an internationally adored icon, and what it is to share a role, created sixty years apart as well as the lessons she learned from both Dame Julie and Eliza.

This enchanting concert evening features iconic songs from beloved musicals on stage and screen including Camelot, The Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria and, of course, My Fair Lady.
