My Fair Lady is a musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, itself an adaptation of an ancient Greek myth. My Fair Lady is the story of Eliza Doolittle, a penniless flower girl living in London in 1912. Eliza becomes the unwitting object of a bet between two upper-class men, phonetics professor Henry Higgins and linguist Colonel Pickering. Higgins bets that he can pass Eliza off as a lady at an upcoming high-society social event, but their relationship quickly becomes more complicated. In My Fair Lady, Lerner and Loewe explore topics of class discrimination, sexism, linguistic profiling, and social identity; issues that are still very much present in our world today.
