Plot
- Act Me
On a rainy night in London's Edwardian, opera customers are waiting under the Covent Garden arch for a taxi. Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, ran to a young man named Freddy. She scolds him for spilling his violet bunches into the mud, but he comforts after selling one to an older man. He then flies into an angry outburst when a man copies his speech shown to him. The man explains that he is studying phonetics and can identify the origin of anyone with their accents. He regretted Eliza's terrible words, asking why so many Englishmen are not speaking correctly and explaining his theory that this is what really separates the social class, rather than appearance or money ("Why Can not English?"). He states that in six months he can turn Eliza into a woman by teaching her to speak properly. The older man introduced himself as Colonel Pickering, a linguist who has studied Indian dialect. Phonetics introduced himself as Henry Higgins, and, as they both always wanted to meet each other, Higgins invited Pickering to stay at his home in London. He turned his attention to Eliza's basket, and he and his friends wondered what it was like to live a comfortable and decent life ("Is not That Loverly?").
Eliza's father, Alfred P. Doolittle, and his drinking buddies, Harry and Jamie, all the guards, stopped by the next morning. She makes money to drink, and Eliza shares her profits with him ("With a Little Luck"). Pickering and Higgins were discussing vocals at Higgins's house when Mrs. Pearce, the housekeeper, told Higgins that a young woman with a terrible accent had come to see her. It was Eliza, who came to take a speech lesson so she could get a job as an assistant at a florist. Pickering was betting that Higgins could not take advantage of his claim and his volunteers to pay for Eliza's lessons. The intensive shift from Eliza's speech, manners and dress begins in preparation for her performance at the Embassy Ball. Higgins sees himself as a kind and patient man who can not get along with women ("I'm Ordinary Man"). To others, he seems selfish and misogynistic.
Alfred Doolittle was told that his daughter had been taken by Professor Higgins, and thought that he might be able to make a little money from the situation ("With a Little Luck" [Reprise]).
Doolittle arrives at Higgins's house the next morning, claiming that Higgins sacrificed Eliza's kindness. Higgins was impressed by the natural gifts of humans for language and insolent moral values. She and Doolittle agree that Eliza can continue to take lessons and stay at Higgins's house if Higgins gives Doolittle five pounds for pleasure. Higgins recklessly recommends Doolittle to an American millionaire who wrote to Higgins looking for lecturers for moral values. Meanwhile, Eliza persisted with the speech speech, endlessly repeating words like "In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire, the storm almost never happened" (initially, the only "h" she aspirates is in "hever") and "Rain in Spain remains primarily in the plain "(to practice the phoneme" old a "). Frustrated, he dreams of ways to kill Higgins, from sickness to sinking into a firing squad ("Just You Wait"). The waiters lamented Higgins's "hard work" ("The Servants' Chorus"). Just as they surrendered, Eliza suddenly recited "Rain in Spain remains largely in the plains" in the perfect upscale style. Higgins, Eliza, and Pickering delightedly dance around Higgins's research ("The Rain in Spain"). After that he speaks with the Accepted Pronunciation impeccably. Mrs. Pearce, the housekeeper, insisted that Eliza had gone to bed; he stated he was too eager to sleep ("I Can Have Danced All Night").
For his first public trial, Higgins took Eliza to his mother's box in Ascot Racecourse ("Ascot Gavotte"). Henry's mother reluctantly agrees to help Eliza talk, following Henry's suggestion that Eliza should hold on to two subjects: the weather and the health of everyone. Eliza made a good impression at first with her polite courtesy but then surprised everyone when she forgot herself while watching the race and returned to Cockney slang. She did, however, catch the heart of Freddy Eynsford-Hill, the young man she met in the opening scene. Freddy called Eliza that night, but he refused to meet her. He declares that he will be waiting for him as long as necessary on the road outside Higgins's house ("On the Way Where You Live").
Eliza's last test required her to graduate as a woman at the Embassy Ball, and after weeks of preparation, she was ready. All the women and men in the ball admire her, and the Transylvanian Queen invites her to dance with her son, the prince ("Embassy Waltz"). Eliza danced with Higgins. A rival and former student of Higgins, a Hungarian phonetic named Zoltan Karpathy, was employed by the hostess to discover Eliza's origins through his speech. Although Pickering and his mother reminded him not to do so, Higgins allowed Karpathy to dance with Eliza.
- Act II
The event was revealed to have been successful, with Zoltan Karpathy having concluded that Eliza is "not only Hungarian, but noble blood." She is a princess! After the ball, Pickering praised Higgins on his victory, and Higgins expressed his excitement that his experiment was now over ("You Did It"). The episode left Eliza feeling used and abandoned. Higgins completely ignored Eliza until she misses the sandals. He asks where they are, and she whips at him, leaving the professor not to be confused with his ignorance. When Eliza decides to leave Higgins, she insults him with frustration and storm. Eliza cried as she prepared to leave ("Just You Wait" [Reprise]). He found Freddy still waiting outside ("On the Street Where You Live" [Reprise]). He starts to say how much he loves her, but he cuts it off, telling her that he has heard enough words; if he really loves him, he should show it ("Show Me"). He and Freddy return to Covent Garden, where his friends do not recognize him with his new cushion ("The Flower Market/Will not It Be Sustained?" [Reprise]). Incidentally, his father was also there, wearing a nice suit. He explains that he receives a shocking will of four thousand pounds a year from an American millionaire, who has raised him for middle-class honors, and now has to marry Eliza's "stepmother", the woman he has lived with for many years. Eliza saw that she was no longer in Covent Garden, and she and Freddy left. Doolittle and his friends had one last pleasure before the wedding ("Get Me to the Church Timely").
Higgins woke up the next morning to find that, without Eliza, he drank tea rather than coffee, and could not find the file himself. He wonders why he went after the victory on the ball and concluded that the man (especially himself) is far superior to the woman ("A Himne to Him"). Pickering, being distracted by Higgins, went to live with his friend in the Home Office. Higgins sought his mother's advice and found Eliza drinking tea with her. Higgins's mother left Higgins and Eliza together. Eliza explains that Higgins always treats her as a flower girl, but she learns to be a woman because Pickering treats her as one. Higgins claims he treats it in the same way that Pickering does because both Higgins and Pickering treat all women equally. Eliza accuses her of wanting him just to pick her up and take her for her, saying that she will marry Freddy because he loves her. He declares he no longer needs Higgins, saying he's stupid to think he's ("Without You"). Higgins was fascinated by Eliza's spirit and independence and wanted him to stay with her, but she told him that she would not see him again.
When Higgins walked home, he realized that he had grown attached to Eliza ("I'm used to His face"). She can not force herself to admit that she loves him, and insists to herself that if she marries Freddy and then returns to him, she will not accept it. But he found it hard to imagine alone again. He reviews the footage he made from the morning Eliza first came to him for a lesson. He heard his own harsh words: "He is so delicious! Very dirty!" Then the phonograph died, and the original voice spoke with Cockney's accent: "I washed my face and" before I came, I did it. "It was Eliza, standing in the doorway, while returning to her Musical ends at an ambiguous moment of possible reconciliation between teacher and pupil , when Higgins bowed and asked, "Eliza, where is the devil my sandal?"

Music number
​​â € <â €
In the mid-1930s, film producer Gabriel Pascal earned the right to produce a film version of some of George Bernard Shaw's drama, Pygmalion among them. However, Shaw, having a bad experience with The Chocolate Soldier , Vienna operetta based on his game Arms and the Man , denied permission to Pygmalion to be adapted into musical. After Shaw died in 1950, Pascal asked lyricist Alan Jay Lerner to write a musical adaptation. Lerner agrees, and he and his partner Frederick Loewe start work. They quickly realized, however, that the game violated some of the main rules for building a musical: the main story is not a love story, no secondary love story or subplot, and no place for an ensemble. Many people, including Oscar Hammerstein II, who, along with Richard Rodgers, also tried his hand to adapt Pygmalion to a musical and had given up, telling Lerner that turning the game into a musical was impossible, so he and Loewe left project for two years.
During this time, separate collaborators and Gabriel Pascal died. Lerner had tried to socialize Li'l Abner when he read the news of Pascal's death and found himself thinking of Pygmalion again. When he and Loewe reunite, everything falls into place. All the insurmountable obstacles that blocked their path two years earlier disappeared when the team realized that the game needed little change from (according to Lerner) "adding action between games". They then eagerly began to write the show. However, Chase Manhattan Bank is responsible for Pascal's possessions, and the music rights for Pygmalion are sought by both Lerner and Loewe and by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, whose executives are called Lerner to prevent it from challenging the studio. Loewe said, "We will write the show without rights, and when the time comes for them to decide who will get it, we will surpass the other so they will be forced to give it to us." For five months Lerner and Loewe wrote, hired an engineering designer, and made a casting decision. The bank, in the end, gives them the right to music.
Lerner settled on the title of My Fair Lady, connecting the two with one of the titles while Shaw for Pygmalion, Fair Elizabeth, and to the last line of each verse from the nursery rhyme "London Bridge is Falling Down". Given that 1925 the Gershwins Music of Tell Me More has been titled My Fair Lady in trials outside the city, and also has a music number under that title, Lerner makes a call of honor to Ira Gershwin, reminding him of the use of titles for Lerner and Loewe musicals.
Noà  «Coward was the first person to be offered the role of Henry Higgins, but rejected him, suggesting the producer toss Rex Harrison instead. After much consideration, Harrison agreed to accept the passage. Mary Martin was an early choice for Eliza Doolittle's role, but rejected the role. The young actress Julie Andrews "found" and starred as Eliza after the show's creative team went to see her Broadway debut at The Boy Friend. Moss Hart agreed to immediately after hearing only two songs. The experienced orchestra, Robert Russell Bennett and Philip J. Lang were entrusted with the arrangements and the show quickly entered the practice.
The musical script uses several scenes that Shaw has written especially for the 1938 film version Pygmalion, including the sequence of the Ball Embassy and the last scene of the 1938 film rather than ending for Shaw's original drama. The montage that showed Eliza's lessons was also expanded, combining Lerner and Shaw's dialogue. The artwork in the original playbill (and arm of the recording of the player) is by Al Hirschfeld, who drew a playwright Shaw as a heavenly puppetmaster pulling strings on the character of Henry Higgins, while Higgins in turn tries to control Eliza Doolittle.

Other great productions
Berlin, 1961
The German translation of the My Fair Lady opened on October 1, 1961, at the Theater des Westens in Berlin, starring Karin HÃÆ'¼bner and Paul Hubschmid (and performed, like the opening of Broadway, by Franz Allers). Coming at the height of the Cold War tensions, just weeks after the Berlin East-West Berlin border closure and the establishment of the Berlin Wall, this was the first performance of Broadway musicals in Berlin since World War II. It is therefore seen as a symbol of West Berlin's cultural revival and resistance. The missing presence of East Berlin (now no longer possible) was partly made by the "musical air bridge" of a flight carrying customers from West Germany, and the production was achieved by Berlin, running for two years.

Critical reception
According to Geoffrey Block, "The opener of the nightly critic soon realized that My Mistress Fairly was fully measured until Rodgers and Hammerstein's model of the integrated musical... Robert Coleman... wrote 'The song Lerner-Loewe is not only fun, they also advance their actions far more than interpolation, or interruptions. '"The musical was opened for" glowing glowing reviews, one of them saying' Do not bother reading these reviews right now, you should sit down and send those tickets... ' Critics praised the use of Shaw's original drama, lyrical brilliance, and Loewe's well-integrated scores. "
Examples of praise from critics, abstracted from a musical book published in 1956.
- " My Fair Lady wise, intelligent, and winning.In short, a magical musical." Walter Kerr, New York Herald Tribune .
- "A fusion of intellect, intelligence, rhythm, and high spirits, a musical comedy... an incredible show." Robert Coleman, New York Daily Mirror .
- "Fine, handsome, melodious, intelligent, and beautiful acting... great performances." George Jean Nathan, New York Journal American .
- "Everything about My Lady is distinctive and different." John Chapman, New York Daily News .
- "Incredibly entertaining and extraordinary welcome... merit in every department." Wolcott Gibbs, The New Yorker .
- "One of the 'loverliest' shows imaginable... a work of theater magic." John Beaufort, Christian Science Monitor .
- "An unbearable attack." Variety .
- "One of the best musicals of the century." Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times .
However, the reception of the Shavians is more diverse. Eric Bentley, for example, calls it "the mistreatment of Mr. Shaw's game, [breaking down] the basic idea [of the game]", even though he acknowledges it as "a fun show".

Adaptations
1964 movie
The Oscar-winning movie version was made in 1964, directed by George Cukor and with Harrison again in the Higgins section. Audrey Hepburn's casting is not Julie Andrews as Eliza is controversial, partly because theater audience considers Andrews to be a perfect part and partly because of the singing voice of Hepburn dubbed (by Marni Nixon). Jack L. Warner, head of Warner Bros., who produces the film, wants a "star with a lot of name recognition", but since Julie Andrews has no movie experience, she thinks films with her will not be as successful. (Andrews later starred in Mary Poppins in the same year in which she won an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actress.) Lerner especially disliked the musical version of the film, thinking that it did not fit the original Moss Hart. He was also unhappy with Hepburn casting as Eliza Doolittle and that the film was taken entirely in Warner Bros studios rather than, as he wanted, in London. Despite the controversy, My Fair Lady was considered a major success and a box office, eventually winning eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture of the Year, Best Actor for Rex Harrison, and Best Director for George Cukor.
Unrealized films of the 2000s
The new film adaptation was announced by Columbia Pictures in 2008, but on May 5, 2014, the project has been suspended. The goal is to shoot at locations in Covent Garden, Drury Lane, Tottenham Court Road, Wimpole Street and Ascot Racecourse. In December 2009, it was announced that John Madden had been signed to direct it and in 2011 it was reported that Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan were the possible choices for the lead role. Emma Thompson wrote a new scenario adaptation for the project.
