Cockney Eliza Doolittle scrapes a living selling flowers on the streets of London. Her dream of being a lady in a florist's shop is out of reach unless she can speak 'proper English'. So when she encounters Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, she seizes the chance to transform her life. Higgins blithely takes on a bet to turn the woman he dismisses as a "squashed cabbage leaf" into a high society paragon. But his impulsive wager becomes a journey of discovery for both him and Eliza. Lerner & Loewe's glorious, evergreen musical My Fair Lady - with an overflowing bouquet of ravishing songs including The Rain in Spain, I Could Have Danced All Night, With a Little Bit of Luck and Wouldn't It be Loverly - has never before been produced at Chichester. With its sparkling dialogue, brilliant lyrics, witty story and gorgeous costumes, this 20th century masterpiece has been described as the perfect musical.
