My Fair Lady

This Lerner and Loewe 1957 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical is based on George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play Pygmalion and is the basis for the 1964 Academy Award-winning film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison. It has often been referred to as the perfect musical.

Eliza Doolittle, a rough Cockney girl, meets Colonel Pickering and Henry Higgins in Covent Garden where she’s selling flowers. When Higgins remarks that he could help Eliza speak properly and raise her status in the community, Pickering challenges him to do so and Eliza takes him up on the offer. Though difficult and frustrating for both Eliza and Higgins at first, the lessons soon begin to work wonders, and produce results that neither predict.

My Fair Lady is filled with instantly recognisable songs such as "With a Little Bit of Luck", "I Could have Danced all Night", "On the Street Where you Live", and not forgetting the toe-tapping "Get me to the Church on Tim" and the unforgettable "Wouldn’t it be Loverly".
