Are three classics that remain very faithful to the stage versions. I don't think a line is changed or a scene added to MY FAIR LADY--OK, maybe Higgians doesn't take a drink before the ball on stage, and a few brief scenes are done differently, but otherwise it's the same story/songs. One can quibble over the casting--Hepburn over Andrews, Jones over Cook--but the performers and the productions are first rate overall.
