Such is the case with the revival of \u201cMY FAIR LADY\u201d at the Vivian Beaumont Theater \u2014 still evolving with new stars after 10 months and $50 million in sales. Upon its opening last April, it was already a plush and thrilling production, befitting Lincoln Center Theater\u2019s tradition of treating classic musicals as both spectacle and living text. While honoring Lerner and Loewe\u2019s 1956 original, the director Bartlett Sher had reframed the story of Henry Higgins, the phonetician who sculpts the bedraggled flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a lady; it became instead the story of Eliza Doolittle, a determined flower girl who, with the bully Henry Higgins as her chisel, sculpts herself. It is still that story, in outline. But with four replacement principals now fully in place \u2014 Laura Benanti as Eliza; Danny Burstein as her father; Christian Dante White as her enthusiastic suitor; and Rosemary Harris as Higgins\u2019s mother \u2014 the emphasis has changed in ways that are no less illuminating for being incremental.\u201d<br \/>\n<em>\u2013 Jesse Green, The New York Times.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n\u201cBoasting such classic songs as \u201cI Could Have Danced All Night,\u201d \u201cThe Rain in Spain,\u201d \u201cWouldn\u2019t It Be Loverly\u201d and \u201cOn the Street Where You Live,\u201d MY FAIR LADY tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a \u201cproper lady.\u201d But who is really being transformed?
