“Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” is a popular song by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, written for the 1956 Broadway play My Fair Lady.
The song is sung by flower girl Eliza Doolittle and her street friends. It expresses Eliza’s wish for a better life.
In addition to pronouncing “lovely” as “loverly”, the song lyrics highlight other facets of the Cockney accent that Professor Henry Higgins wants to refine away as part of his social experiment.
In the stage version it was sung by Julie Andrews. In the 1964 film version, Marni Nixon dubbed the song for Audrey Hepburn. Both Andrews’ and Nixon’s versions are available on the original cast and soundtrack albums, respectively, and Hepburn’s original version is available in the specials for the DVD of the film.
Andy Williams released a version of ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly’ on his 1964 album, The Great Songs from “My Fair Lady” and Other Broadway Hits.
My Fair Lady is a musical based on George Bernard Shaw‘s Pygmalion, with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so that she may pass as a lady. The original Broadway and London shows starred Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews.
The musical’s 1956 Broadway production was a notable critical and popular success. It set a record for the longest run of any show on Broadway up to that time. It was followed by a hit London production, a popular film version, chart topping original cast and soundtrack albums and numerous revivals. My Fair Lady has frequently been called “the perfect musical”.
