Light Opera Oklahoma/Summerstage: My Fair Lady June 19, 2009

My Fair Lady is based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. Set in bustling London, the story concerns Professor Higgins, who makes a bet that if he can teach Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney girl who sells flowers, to speak the English language properly, she will pass as a member of the upper class.
