'My Fair Lady' Couldn't Actually Dance All Night, So These Songs Had To Go

When a Broadway musical feels as effortlessly right as Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's did to audiences in 1956, it's easy to imagine that it simply sprang to life that way. Not My Fair Lady. The musical, based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, is filled to bursting with some of the best-known songs in Broadway history — "The Rain In Spain,""Wouldn't It Be Loverly,""On the Street Where You Live"— but it turns out the show originally had other tunes that almost nobody knows.
