My Fair Lady

Lerner and Loewe’s musical My Fair Lady revolves around Eliza Doolittle, a coarse little peddler
of flowers in Covent Garden who agrees to take speech lessons from phonetician Henry Higgins in order to fulfill her dream of working in a flower shop. Eliza succeeds so well, however, that she outgrows her social station and–in a development added by librettist Lerner–even manages to get Higgins to fall in love with her.
