| "There didn't seem to be any attempt to present her as liberated until that last moment." As written, and as performed in this production, almost the entire scene between Higgins and Eliza's in Mrs. Higgins' home consists of Eliza telling Higgins that she doesn't need him any more and how happy her life will be without him in it. She even has a whole song about that: "Without You." In the original text, her last lines in that scene are "Goodbye, Professor Higgins. You will not be seeing me again." In this production, the very last line was changed to something like "What you will do without me, I cannot imagine." (I assume they cut "you will not be seeing me again" so that Eliza didn't look like a liar when she shows up back at Higgins' home for the final moment.) |
