About the Show
Based on George Bernard Shaw‘s Pygmalion. Lerner and Loewe‘s multi-award winning musical became one of the greatest successes of the New York and London stages, and paved the way for the hugely popular film version in 1964. Henry Higgins, an opinionated linguistics professor and confirmed bachelor, makes a wager with a colleague that within six months he can transform a cockney flower seller, Eliza Doolittle, into a lady who can take her place in high society. He wins the bet, but doesn’t bargain for the profound effect she has on his life. The musical includes such hits as ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ and ‘On The Street Where You Live’.
