My Fair Lady
is a
musical
based upon
George Bernard Shaw
's
Pygmalion
, with book and lyrics by
Alan Jay Lerner
and music by
Frederick Loewe
. The story concerns
Eliza Doolittle
, a
Cockney
flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a
phoneticist
, so that she may pass as a lady.
The musical's 1956
Broadway
production was a momentous hit, setting what was then the record for the longest run of any major musical theatre production in history. It was followed by a hit London production, a popular
film version
, and numerous revivals. It has been called "the perfect musical".

Fall River
is a city in
Bristol County
,
Massachusetts
,
United States
. Fall River's population was 88,857 at the
2010 census
,
[
2
]
making it the
tenth largest city in the state
.
Located along the eastern shore of
Mount Hope Bay
at the mouth of the
Taunton River
, the city became famous during the 19th century as the leading
textile manufacturing
center in the
United States
. While the textile industry has long since moved on, its impact on the city's culture and landscape remains to this day. Fall River's official motto is "We'll Try," dating back to the aftermath of the Great Fire of 1843. It is also nicknamed "the Scholarship City" because Dr. Irving Fradkin founded
Dollars for Scholars
here in 1958.
Fall River is well known for
Lizzie Borden
,
Portuguese culture
, its numerous 19th century textile mills and
Battleship Cove
, the world's largest collection of
World War II
naval vessels
and the home of the
USS
Massachusetts
(BB-59)
. Fall River is also the only city in the United States to have its
city hall
located over an interstate highway.
Fall River was the only city on the East Coast of the United States to have had an exposed waterfall falling in part of its downtown area flowing less than a half mile into a sheltered harbor at the edge of downtown. Fall River was and is unique for the fact that it has two large lakes (originally one lake) along with a large portion of protected woodlands on the eastern part of the city, which is higher in elevation, with the
Quequechan River
draining out of the ponds and flowing 2.5 miles through the heart of the city, emptying out an estimated 26 million gallons a day into the deep Mount Hope Bay/ Taunton River estuary in the western part of the city. The
Quequechan River
once flowed through downtown unrestricted providing great waterpower potential for the mills and finally in the last half mile of its length down a series of eight steep waterfalls falling 128 feet, into the Taunton River at the head of the deep Mount Hope Bay. Fall River is one of the few places on the east coast of the United States to have such special and rare features in its geography, along with the natural
Fall River granite
quarried there. The Quequechan River's enormous waterpower potential and natural granite helped form and shape Fall River into the city it is today.
