Sinopse. My Fair Lady conta a história de Eliza Doolittle, uma mendiga que vende flores pelas ruas escuras de Londres em busca de uns trocados. Em uma dessas rotineiras noites, Eliza conhece um culto professor de fonética Henry Higgins e sua incrível capacidade de descobrir muito sobre as pessoas apenas através de seus sotaques.
Plot. Act I. In Edwardian London, Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl with a thick Cockney accent. The noted phonetician Professor Henry Higgins encounters Eliza at Covent Garden and laments the vulgarity of her dialect ("Why Can't the English?"). Higgins also meets Colonel Pickering, another linguist, and invites him to stay as his houseguest.
