Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre, in partnership with the University of Oklahoma's A. Max Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre, presents, just in time for Valentine's Day, one of the most romantic musicals of all time, MY FAIR LADY with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. MY FAIR LADY, based on Bernard Shaw's PYGMALION, tells the story of the transformation of a Cockney flower girl to a lady of society.

Lerner and Lowe's classic stage musical "My Fair Lady," a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons to become a proper lady, comes to the California Theatre for one performance only on Jan. 26, 2012.

Today in 1938, Pygmalion opened at the Maxine Elliott's Theatre. Written by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, the play centers on Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins. He makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a comment on women's independence, packaged as a romantic comedy.

Highlights of the forthcoming productions at the National Theatre, announced today by Nicholas Hytner, include new plays by Alan Bennett, Stephen Beresford, Lisa D'Amour, James Graham and Lucy Prebble.
