Synopsis
Keith Garebian peers behind the curtain of My Fair Lady to reveal the story behind the making of the musical. Beginning with George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, Garebian traces the development of the musical idea. We read with interest about Lerner and Loewe's writing difficulties, and about how Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison were selected as leads. Then it's on to a full-dress reconstruction of opening night on Broadway. Garebian's next chapter follows My Fair Lady after its Broadway start, and he concludes with a close analysis of the structure, words, and music of the play.
