SynopsisBased upon the Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion who fell in love with his own statue of a woman, George Bernard Shaw's celebrated play-and the musical adaptation by Alan Jay Lerner-feature phonetics professor Henry Higgins who transformed cockney flower girl Eliza into a lady., The ancient Greeks tell the legend of the sculptor Pygmalion, who created a statue of a woman of such surpassing beauty that he fell in love with his own creation.

Centuries later, George Bernard Shaw captured the magic of this legend in his celebrated romantic play, Pygmalion . Pygmalion became Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, his statue an untutored flower girl from the streets of London, and the barrier between them the difference in their stations in life.
