During the show there was a scene where Higgin teaching Eliza pronouncing vowels without blowing off a lamp flame. But when he demonstrated it Eliza, he flew off the flame by accident.
After that he did many tries but he kept on failing. The audience started to laugh and both Eliza and Higgin were laughing too. Higgin at one point said "It's the beetroot I had for lunch...." and it made the audience laugh even harder.
Personally I do not enjoy watching musical videos. I had seen My Fair lady before and I did not really enjoy it. The one probably I liked the most was The Sound of Music. I really did not expect too much from this My Fair Lady live. But as soon as Eliza started to sing, I was mesmerised at thw whole show. I just could not take my eyes off of the stage. it was probably the first time that I never looked at my wrist watch to see what time it was and to guess how long left. When the actors sang, I felt like I was in a Holywood musical movie. Eliza(acted by Taryn Fiebig)'s singing was so good. She sounded like Julie Andrews and I personally think Taryn's singing was way better than the movie starring Audrey Hepburn.
On the other hand, Higgin(played by William McInnes)' acting was excellent but the singing level was a little disappointing. I do not want to be harsh on comment but I was hoping that he would have a better voice. On the way back from the show I rented My Fair lady and watched it again just to compare it with that day's show.
This is a clip taken form YouTube. It's quite well filmed and hope this is a legal trailer:
