A musical about a doctor who wishes his animals could speak to him.

"In this beloved adaptation of the Broadway stage hit, Eliza a sassy, working class London street vendor, and a professor who takes a wager to turn her into a sophisticated lady through schooling. But when the humble flower girl blossoms into the toast of London's elite, her teacher may have a lesson or two to learn himself"--adapted from container.

A world-famous symphony conductor, consumed with the suspicion that his wife is having an affair, entertains elaborate visions of vengeance, set to three separate orchestral works.

Outside Covent Garden on a rainy evening in 1912, cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, meets linguistic expert Henry Higgins. Higgins, in turn, bets with his companion, Colonel Pickering, that, within six months, he could transform Eliza into a proper lady, simply by teaching her proper English. The next morning, face and hands freshly scrubbed, Eliza presents herself on Higgins' doorstep, ready and willing to be turned into a lady.

It's social season in London, and amid the swirl of coming-out balls the aristocratic Broadbents are intent on giving their American-educated 17-year-old daughter Jane the right entry into society and a proper upper-class beau. One complication: flighty Mabel Claremont is eager to match that same beau with her daughter. And another: Jane, of course, has her own ideas about these matters, and an eye for a guy who's a drummer in the dance band.
