My Fair Lady

A musical based on Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" and the film by Gabriel Pascal, book by Alan Jay Lerner, music by Frederick Loewe, German adaptation by Robert Gilbert.

Flower girl Eliza Doolittle catches the ear of phonetics professor Henry Higgins on the street - her coarse dialect is impossible to ignore. He bets his friend Colonel Pickering that within six months he can turn this "guttersnipe" into a proper lady. Eliza takes him up on it, and after a rocky start the experiment seems to be working - until love gets in the way.

Since its Broadway premiere in 1956, "My Fair Lady" has been one of the most beloved musicals in the world, with earworms like "Es grünt so grün", "Mit 'nem kleinen Stückchen Glück" and "Ich hätt' getanzt heut' Nacht". The show moves between hilarious comedy and genuine depth, with spectacular crowd scenes, glittering ballroom nights and boisterous pub sequences. Directed by Marc Krone.
