SYNOPSIS:

This timeless story takes us back to a simpler time, when movies and
musicals were magical and make believe. And at the heart of this
timeless story is the cockney flower girl who is magically transformed
into a “genteel lady” and the man who falls in love with her. A
magnificent Lerner & Loewe collaboration yielded a
never-to-be-forgotten musical gem that includes such songs as: “I
Could Have Danced All Night”, “The Rain in Spain”, “Wouldn’t
It Be Loverly”, and “The Street Where You Live”.
