The role of Eliza, the guttersnipe, was originally played by Julie Andrews on stage; in the event, the film role went to Audrey Hepburn (Andrews was cast instead in Mary Poppins that same year, for which she won an Oscar). Hepburn is not quite believable as the dirty flower seller earl...
and appeal of this beloved classic. My Fair Lady live events are always in high demand, and tickets to see this iconic show are often some of the hottest in the world of theater. If you are a fan of musical theater, then My Fair Lady is a show that you simply cannot afford to ...
