Eliza Doolittle is a simple flower seller from a London suburb with a strong dialect. By chance, she meets the phonetician Professor Henry Higgins. He offers Eliza language training to make her fit for the highest circles of society within a few months. Eliza is on the verge of fulfilling her dreams of a better life, but the stubbornness of this new class soon becomes too much for her. In Frederick Loewe's My Fair Lady, first performed in 1956, dreams come true with a twinkle in the eye, carried by a charming, warm score that breathes Eliza's curiosity and optimism and whose hits have gone down in history.
