“My Fair Lady” is a musical based upon George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” and with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from Professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so she can pass as a proper lady.
The Lyric’s production is under the direction of Dr. Nancy Jo Humfeld. See full cast list below.
