My Fair Lady (20th Anniversary Broadway Cast)
A young Christine Andreas made her Broadway debut in the 1976 revival of Lerner and Loewe'sMy Fair Ladyand she's terrific as Eliza Doolittle.  She's joined by Ian Richardson's fierce and sputtering Henry Higgins, George Rose as her father, Jerry Lanning as Freddy Eynsford-Hill, and Robert Coote reprising his Colonel Pickering from the original Broadway cast.  The original cast starring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison will always be definitive, but this is an excellent alternative.  Three years later, Andreas was tapped to play Laurie in the revival ofOklahoma!, and set her on the way to stardom. Produced by the legendary Goddard Lieberson, with cover art by Al Hirschfeld.--David Horiuchi
