My Fair Lady is a classic musical based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. The story follows Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who is taken under the wing of phonetics professor Henry Higgins, who bets that he can teach her to speak "proper" English and pass her off as a lady in high society. As Eliza undergoes rigorous speech lessons and etiquette training, she begins to blossom into a refined young woman, but at the same time, she becomes frustrated with Higgins' insensitivity and lack of respect for her.

Despite the conflict between the two, Eliza's transformation is a great success, and she is able to attend a fancy ball and charm everyone with her newfound elegance. However, as she gains the attention and admiration of the wealthy and influential, she realizes that she may have lost her identity and independence in the process. The musical features memorable songs such as "I Could Have Danced All Night", "The Rain in Spain", and "Get Me to the Church on Time", and is a beloved classic of the musical theatre canon.
