Description

Discover how Lerner and Loewe transformed George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion into the beloved musical My Fair Lady (1956) in this critical study from Routledge. Keith Garebian examines the creative genius behind one of theatre's greatest achievements, exploring how the composers dared to reverse Shaw's original ending and craft a romantic conclusion that delighted both audiences and critics alike. Despite Shaw's famous refusal to allow Pygmalion to be adapted into an operetta, this musical masterpiece became a timeless classic. This book offers deep insight into the artistic decisions, musical innovation, and theatrical vision that made My Fair Lady a defining work in musical theatre history.
