| A lot of folks tend to forget that "Pygmalion", " "Charley's Aunt", "Liliom" (all of which have screen versions, though sometimes in other languages) and other existing properties were used to fashion some of the great musicals during the Golden Age of the 1940s and 1950s and beyond. One big joke around Broadway after the success of "My Fair Lady" was that producers couldn't be found in their offices; they were at the library trying to find the source of their next big show. |
