Lerner and Loewe’s musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion follows Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller who wants the chance of a different life. Professor Henry Higgins believes he can transform how the world sees her simply by changing the way she speaks, and makes her the subject of an experiment in passing for high society.
