"My Fair Lady," written by Alan Jay Lerner with music by Frederick Loewe, is a timeless tale of transformation and the power of language. The story follows Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, who is taken under the wing of Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistics expert, who attempts to transform her into a proper lady.
