The plot of one of the most performed musicals in the world based on the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw is not only funny but also brings the much-needed dose of romance, as well as life philosophy.

The audience followed the exciting transformation - of attitudes, expectations, and behavior, breaking rigid frameworks and destroying social myths. Most of all, they were part of a beautiful modern fairy tale about the romantic halo of love, which is not subject to snobbish prejudices.
The captivating plot is transferred to the Professor's house, where Eliza metamorphoses from a flower girl with a terrible dialect and manners, into a refined lady who is unconditionally accepted by high society at the ball at Buckingham Palace - after six months of training. The romantic plot ends, of course, with a happy and instructive Every link of the production, a thought embedded in the fabric of the storyline, every note, word, phrase, breath, smile and sigh, every conductor's gesture of the undisputed master behind the console - Ivan Kozhuharov, every staging, scenography, choreography and costume design concept, transformed into the feast on stage - everything is with the halo of Broadway brilliance and at the same time - theatrical depth and emotional impact!

Prof. Dr. Alexander Tekeliev has proven many times that he is a contemporary thinker and innovator.
