The musical My Fair Lady (1956) is a story from another age. All things considered, it is probably best that a contemporary audience may not know the lyrics to the songs, let alone the tunes. The tale involves the efforts of an insufferable Henry Higgins to teach a Cockney lass, Eliza Doolittle, how to properly pronounce the Queen's English, BBC style. Alas, Higgins succeeds too well, only to render the fey Doolittle attractive to a rival suitor of some means. Doolittle, let it be said, is, well, no shrinking violet, so her willful persona might go down well today in what is an Edwardian drama written by George Bernard Shaw in 1913. Otherwise, one fears, a modern audience may wonder where Mr. Higgins gets off? Audiences in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, however, loved it. And the tunes have become classics in the Great American Songbook. In its day, this recording was a huge success.
