Abstract
ABSTRACT:
Many Shavians were dismayed when My Fair Lady came to Broadway in 1956. One problem was that Shaw had always refused to authorize a musical version of Pygmalion. There were also fears that Pygmalion would lose some of its Shavian qualities in the Lerner and Loewe adaptation. But more than sixty years have passed since the Broadway opening, and My Fair Lady has proven to be a Shavian success in more ways than one.
