My Fair Lady

The Broadway classic from the pens of Frederick Loewe and Alan J. Lerner tells the story of the love affair between a college professor and a simple flower girl. The eccentric Higgins, a professor of phonetics, makes a bet with a colonel friend that he’ll manage to turn the little »plant from the gutter«, as he calls Eliza Doolittle, into a lady by teaching her to speak properly.

But there’s one thing he hasn’t reckoned with when performing his experiment with a human subject: Eliza turns out to be an enchanting personality in her own right, with plenty of common sense and a big heart. Frederick Loewe set this entertaining and touching story to music, creating delightful evergreens like »I Could Have Danced All Night«, »The Rain in Spain« and »Get Me to the Church on Time«.

Please note: The German translation of »My Fair Lady« will be performed at the Elbphilharmonie.
