My Fair Lady at Burning Coal Theatre

My Fair Lady is a timeless musical that delves into the transformative power of language, identity, and social class in early 20th-century London. At the heart of the story is Eliza Doolittle, a spirited flower seller with a thick Cockney accent, who encounters the esteemed phonetics professor Henry Higgins. Fascinated by her unrefined speech and bold personality, Higgins makes a bold wager: he will teach Eliza to speak and behave like a proper lady of high society.

As Eliza embarks on this challenging journey, the musical traces their evolving relationship through lessons in speech, manners, and self-discovery. Though they come from vastly different worlds, Higgins and Eliza form an unexpected bond that both challenges and changes them in profound ways.
