Description

Explore the fascinating history behind one of the most famous musicals in theater history. This Routledge publication, part of The Fourth Wall series, examines how Lerner and Loewe transformed George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion into the 1956 musical masterpiece, My Fair Lady. George Bernard Shaw famously resisted turning his plays into musical comedies, yet this production managed to delight both critics and audiences. The book explores how the creators navigated Shaw's strict views on his work. It specifically looks at the bold decision to reverse Shaw's original ending to create a romantic conclusion that resonated with theatergoers. Written by Keith Garebian, this text provides a detailed look at the evolution from a classic play to a celebrated stage musical. It is an essential read for those interested in musical styles, theater history, and the creative process of turning dramatic literature into beloved musical productions.
