Date Sold 8/2/2011Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded German "A1" Stage Play Poster (measures 22 3/4" x 32") (Learn More) My Fair Lady, the 1956 - 1960s stage play musical production ("Adapted from Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion"; "Music by Frederick Loewe"; "Book and Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner"; "In the critics' prize musical") starring (in 1956) Julie Andrews (as Eliza Doolittle), Rex Harrison (as Henry Higgins), Robert Coote (as Colonel Pickering), Stanley Holloway (as Alfred P. Doolittle), and Cathleen Nesbitt (as Mrs. Higgins). Note that this was a long-running show (both on and off Broadway) and the above cast was not the same throughout the years. Of course, this was the center of a major controversy! When Hollywood went to make a movie of this hit play in 1964 (after it completed its Broadway run), they were fine with retaining the lead stars of the stage production EXCEPT for Julie Andrews, because she wasn't a big enough "name"! They replaced her with Audrey Hepburn, which was especially surprising, given that Miss Hepburn could not sing the part, and Marni Nixon was brought in to sing the songs for her (but that was uncredited and carefully kept under wraps, and Miss Nixon was not allowed to admit to it!). This was very unfortunate for Julie Andrews, but in an unusual twist of fate, she made Mary Poppins that year, and, while My Fair Lady swept the top Oscars with the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor awards, Miss Andrews won the Best Actress award over Miss Hepburn (who wasn't even nominated!)! Artist: Ernst Important Added Info: Note that this German poster measures 22 3/4" x 32", but it has not been trimmed. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
