1986: My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady is a musical based upon George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, and with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe.

A chance meeting between two noted British linguists, Prof. Henry Higgins and Col. Hugh Pickering, leads to a wager - Professor Higgins bets with Pickering that he can transform unrefined, dirty Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, into a refined Victorian lady with an aristocratic accent, and fool everyone into thinking she really is one, too!  After some hesitation, Eliza agrees to participate. Higgins succeeds, and thus young aristocrat Freddy Eynsford-Hill falls madly in love with her. But when Higgins takes all the credit and forgets to acknowledge her efforts, Eliza angrily leaves him for Freddy, and suddenly Higgins realizes he's grown accustomed to her face and can't really live without it...
