My Fair Lady

The musical My Fair Lady, with a book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, is based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 play Pygmalion and the 1938 film adaptation. The story follows Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, as she takes speech lessons from Professor Henry Higgins to pass as a lady, and Higgins's growing attachment to her despite his initial cynicism. The musical had a notable critical and popular success in its 1956 Broadway production, winning six Tony Awards, and was followed by numerous revivals, including a hit London production and a 1964 film version that won the Academy Award for Best Picture.learn more on wikipedia
