Henry Higgins, a Professor of Phonetics, encounters Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, one cold March night at Covent Garden market. He declares to his friend Colonel Pickering that in three months he could transform Eliza into a duchess. Over the course of several months Eliza is put through a grueling course of phonetics and elocution lessons by Higgins in preparation for moment of triumph at the Embassy Ball.
With Wouldn't It Be Loverly?, With a Little Bit of Luck, The Rain in Spain, I Could Have Danced All Night, On the Street Where You Live, Get Me to the Church on Time and I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face it's no wonder everyone - not just Henry Higgins - falls in love with Eliza Doolittle.

Pickering), Claude Diener (Alfred Doolittle), Tanner Sands (Freddy Eynsford-Hill), Vicki Pierce (Mrs. Pearce), Kate Bogdewiecz (Mrs. Higgins), Ruth Most (Mrs. Eynsford-Hill), Owen Niland (Zoltan Kaparthy) and a loverly ensemble.
