A musical about English class society, and with esprit and wit? Sounds impossible, but as My Fair Lady it was a real hit on the stage. The key to social advancement? The language! Professor Henry Higgins turns flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a socialite. But does he also manipulate her feelings with the language? 

The ancient Greeks already told the legend of the sculptor Pygmalion, who created a statue of a woman of such overwhelming beauty that he fell hopelessly in love with her. Aphrodite was merciful, brought the statue to life and gave it to Pygmalion in marriage. George Bernard Shaw transformed the ancient material into the enchanting comedy Pygmalion, which served as the basis for Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's 1956 hit musical "My Fair Lady".

Ein Musical über die englische Klassengesellschaft, und das mit Esprit und Witz? Klingt unmöglich, wurde als My Fair Lady aber ein wahrer Bühnenerfolg. Der Schlüssel zu sozialem Aufstieg? Die Sprache! Professor Henry Higgins macht aus dem Blumenmädchen Eliza Doolittle eine Dame der Gesellschaft. Doch manipuliert er mit der Sprache auch ihre Gefühle? 

Schon die alten Griechen erzählten die Legende vom Bildhauer Pygmalion, der eine Frauenstatue von solch überwältigender Schönheit schuf, dass er sich rettungslos in sie verliebte. Aphrodite erwies sich gnädig, erweckte die Statue zum Leben und gab sie Pygmalion zur Frau. George Bernard Shaw verwandelte den antiken Stoff in die bezaubernde Komödie Pygmalion, die Alan Jay Lerner und Frederick Loewe 1956 als Vorlage für ihr Erfolgsmusical "My Fair Lady" diente.
