Description:An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him, The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him. - HenryGeorge Bernard Shaw famously refused to permit any play of his to be degraded into an operetta or set to any music except its own. Allowing his beloved Pygmalion to be supplanted by a comic opera was therefore unthinkable; yet Lerner and Loewe transformed it into My Fair Lady (1956), a musical that was to delight audiences and critics alike. By famously reversing Shaw's original ending, the show even dared to establish a cunningly romantic ending.Keith Garebian delves into the libretto for a fresh take, and explores biographies of the show's principal artists to discover how their roles intersected with real life.Rex Harrison was an alpha male onstage and off, Julie Andrews struggled with her 'chaste diva' image, and the direction of the sexually ambiguous Moss Hartcontributed to the musical's sexual coding.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
