My Fair Lady

Description

Is it possible to transform a simple flower girl from the London slums into a high-society lady in a very short time? Phonetics professor Henry Higgins takes the bet. He is convinced that language alone is the key to social recognition. Eliza Doolittle, the daughter of a dustman from Mayfair, becomes his scientific subject. Day and night he torments her with absurd language exercises: "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain..." – Will these methods succeed in creating a dazzling masterpiece that can hold its own at the diplomat's ball? And when will Higgins realize that Eliza is not just a research object, but a young woman with real desires and dreams? Charming humor meets pointed social romance in a Broadway classic loved by all generations. Since the film adaptation with Audrey Hepburn, the musical "My Fair Lady" by author ALAN JAY LERNER (1918–1986) and composer FREDERICK LOEWE (1901–1988) has been one of the most popular works of the 20th century. Evergreens like "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," "On the Street Where You Live," "Get Me to the Church on Time," and "Just You Wait..." make the piece an unforgettable classic.
