an
amateur production presented by arrangement with Musicscope and
Stage Musicals of New York
The
upper-class professor of phonetics, Henry Higgins, and his friend
Colonel Pickering are walking through Covent Garden when they hear
the 'curbstone English' of Eliza Doolittle, a cockney selling
flowers on the street.
Professor
Higgins boasts that it would only take him six months to transform
the flower-seller into a well-spoken society lady, or at the very
least into a proper shop assistant. Eliza notes the last comment -
she'd much prefer to work in a shop - and the next day presents
herself at the Professer's, asking for his help.
Many
elocution lessons follow, and progress is painfully slow at first,
but finally Eliza makes a breakthrough - singing 'The Rain in Spain
Falls Mainly on the Plain' in a posh accent.
Professor
Higgins decides that it is time for Eliza to enter society. This, of
course, is a triumphant sucess. But the Professor takes all the
credit, overlooking all Eliza's hard work. Eliza is angered by this
and returns home.
When
she leaves, Professor Higgins begins to realize his feelings for
her.
This
show is the standard by which all others are measured. Based on
Shaw's play and Pascat's movie 'Pygmalion', with book, music and
lyrics by Lerner and Lowew, MY FAIR LADY is triumphant. With
classics such as -
Wouldn't
it be Loverly?,
With
a Little Bit of Luck,
The
Rain in Spain,
I
Could Have Danced all Night,
On
the Street Where You Live,
Get
me to the Church on Time, and
I've
Grown Accustomed to Her Face
-
it's no wonder everyone - not just Henry Higgins - falls in love
with Eliza Doolittle.
