Liza Doolittle is a Cockney flower girl selling flowers by night in the streets of London. Liza can sing and she dreams of performing on the stage of the theatre. She wants to escape from her life of poverty and misery. One winter’s evening she finds herself standing outside the famous West End theatre, sheltering from the rain. By chance, two famous voice coaches: Henry Higgins and Mr. Pickering are also stood outside.
In an unusual encounter, the three characters become acquainted. Higgins insults Liza’s singing and she gets angry. Pickering becomes involved and they then discover that both Pickering and Higgins have something in common: singing! Higgins and Pickering instantly become friends and they both go to Pickering’s hotel to discuss their work. They leave Liza outside the theatre, singing to herself on her own.
The very next day Higgins and Pickering meet again at Higgins’ house. Higgins’ shows Pickering the work he does tape recording people’s different accents. To the two men’s surprise, Liza arrives with a request: she wants to learn how to sing and pay Mr. Higgins for lessons!
Like the day before, Higgins is very rude to Liza. However, he accepts Liza’s request as a challenge to himself. They embark on a bet to transform Liza from a Cockney, street girl into a young, fair lady. With Higgins’ techniques and Liza’s determination and practice, things seem to start reasonably well. However, Higgins is a stubborn man and Liza has her own ideas for her future and how it should be…..
Will Higgins succeed in his challenge to turn Liza into a star? Will Liza gain the success she has always dreamt of? Or will Liza return to her life as a flower girl on the streets of London town?

Have a nice day
If she’s going to be in a musical
Then she must learn to move
If we put her on stage
Then we have to approve
Your dress is all dirty
Stand up straight Girl
Just like the Queen does
Don’t play with your dress
Smile sweetly girl, yes
And your hair is awful mess
You must not look sad!
When you sit cross your legs
Move softly and with grace
Like you’re walking on eggs
And stand on your head
And show your happy face
Fold your arms in your lap
And keep your neck up straight
Don’t look like you’re having a nap
Your head looks like a weight
Have a nice day
Lovely day
Wonderful day
Beautiful day
