The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins so that she can pass as a lady. Higgins takes credit for Eliza's success, but she realizes that she can now be independent and does not need him. The musical's 1956 Broadway production was a smash hit, setting a new record for the longest run of any major musical theatre production in history. It was followed by a hit London production, a popular film version, and numerous revivals. It has been called "the perfect musical."

  • Kang Hae Na es una chica despreocupada y testaruda que vive como si el mundo girara entorno a ella y nada más importara. Con el perfecto síndrome de princesa, esta chica tiene todo lo que quiere en el mundo, excepto el amor. Su vida será impactada cuando su abuelo contrate como su mayordomo personal a Seo Dong Chan, un hombre que solía trabajar como gigoló, y quien en realidad ahora sólo tiene la intención de seducirla para sacarle dinero y así poder saldar sus deudas. Sin embargo, el plan de conquistarla pronto se convertirá en amor verdadero; mientras que al contrario, Kang Hae Na se empezará a sentir atraída por Lee Tae Yoon, un abogado de derechos civiles, educado y apuesto, el cual le recuerda a su primer amor.
  • While most people are more familiar with the 1964 Audrey Hepburn film from Warner Bros, My Fair Lady started life as a stage Musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, and starring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison. It was a smash hit when it opened in 1956, and set new records for the longest run in Broadway musical history (a title now held by The Phantom of the Opera, which is still running). The musical follows the young Eliza Doolittle, an outspoken and hopeful flower girl in Edwardian England who takes elocution lessons from Professor Henry Higgins, who (as a result of a bet with the kindly Colonel Pickering) promises to turn her into "a lady." He then trains her, day and night, using some downright bizarre machinery and techniques (the marbles make sense, but some of the others...) When Higgins attempts to try Eliza out on Society by introducing her into his mother's box at Ascot, the transfigured flower girl also encounters young Freddy Eynsford-Hill, who, unaware of Eliza's true social standing, is instantly smitten -- despite Eliza's humiliating lapse into vulgarity at the running of the horserace itself. The lessons finally culminate in the Embassy Ball, at which ambassadors, lords, and the Queen and Prince of Transylvania will be present. The ball, despite the presence of the venal language expert Zoltan Kaparthy, goes incredibly well; Eliza dances with the prince and many at the ball believe Kaparthy's identification of Eliza as a Hungarian princess(!). Then the relationship between Eliza and Higgins, which had been steadily improving, takes a huge blow when Higgins takes all the credit for Eliza's success. Eliza is understandably saddened and enraged and she leaves the house after an outburst that leaves Higgins angry and confused; the rest of the play involves them figuring out their relationship in their own way, though if it works out in the end is left to the viewers' interpretations. The film follows this plot exactly, and was very well received as well, winning 8 Academy Awards. The filming of the movie took place at the time of President Kennedy's assassination; actress Audrey Hepburn made a speech to the cast and crew on the day.
