- Authors
TUDOR, DIANA LIGIA
- Abstract
One of the most accomplished musicals of all time, "My Fair Lady" remains a landmark in the history of the musical genre: this musical was a successful multicultural alliance: it was based on a play by the Anglo-Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, a musical score by the Austrian Frederick Loewe and a libretto by the American Alan Jay Learner, the velocity of the melodies and choreography, as well as the jazz rhythms, being genuinely American. The topic of the current research is based on the ways in which George Bernard Shaw contributed through his play "Pygmalion" and also as a music critic to of a landmark musical, which is "My Fair Lady".
