My Fair Lady
My Fair Lady was based on the play Pygmalion, which George Bernard Shaw wrote in 1913. Alan Jay Lerner wrote the text and the lyrics, and Frederick Loewe composed the music. The story is about a flower girl from Cockney named Eliza Doolittle. She takes speech lessons from a phonetician named professor Henry Higgins so she can pass as a lady. Despite Higgins being cynical and having trouble understanding women, he starts to tutor her.
The 1956 Broadway musical production was a big hit with critics and audiences. It won six Tony Awards, including one for Best Musical. It was the longest-running musical on Broadway up to that point, followed by a hit production in London. Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews led both movies.
The play has been brought back many times, and the 1964 movie version won the Oscar for Best Picture.
Productions
The musical was performed at the Shubert Theater in New Haven before it went to Broadway. The musical's first performance was at the Mark Hellinger Theater in New York City on March 15, 1956. It moved to the Broadhurst Theater and then to The Broadway Theater, where it ran for 2,717 performances, a record at the time. It closed on September 29, 1962. Moss Hart was the director, and Hanya Holm did the dancing. In November 1957, Edward Mulhare took over for Harrison. In February 1958, Sally Ann Howes took over for Andrews. By the beginning of 1959, it had made $10 million, making it the most money of any Broadway show ever.
Harrison, Andrews, Coote, and Holloway played the same parts in the West End production, which opened at the Theater Royal, Drury Lane, and ran for five and a half years (2,281 performances). Mrs. Higgins was Zena Dare's last role in the musical. She was a famous musical comedy star in the early 1900s. Leonard Weir played him. Harrison left the London cast in March 1959, and Andrews and Holloway left in August and October of the same year.
The Story
In this popular musical, the arrogant phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, played by Rex Harrison, is so sure of himself that he decides to turn a working-class Cockney girl into someone who could pass for a high-society member. His subject is the beautiful Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn), who agrees to take speech lessons so she can get a better job. Higgins and Eliza don't get along at first, but then they form an odd bond threatened by a wealthy suitor (Jeremy Brett).
