5. Without You
This number comes close to the end of the musical, when Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins quarrel in ‘Without You’. The professor is more than happy to take credit for the woman that Eliza has become, whilst Eliza assures him, she’ll be just fine without him.
4. With a Little Bit of Luck
This song is led by Alfred along with Harry and Jamie. It comes early on in Act I and is about avoiding your responsibilities; whether that be work, to the duty to help your neighbour, be loyal to your wife, or turn away from sin.
3. I Could Have Danced All Night
This song is a classic and comes close to the end of Act I, just after Eliza has made improvements with her pronunciation. The next day, Henry Higgins will take her to Ascot and though she’s supposed to be sleeping, she is too restless due to excitement.
2. Get Me to the Church on Time
‘Get Me to the Church on Time’ is one of musical theatre’s most recognised songs, particularly the lyrics ‘I’m getting married in the morning.’ It's fun, catchy and uplifting. A perfect musical number.
1. Wouldn’t It Be Loverly
This number comes at the beginning of the musical and Eliza famously sings it in her Cockney accent. The flower seller dreams of the simple pleasures such as a room away from the cold and chocolate. ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly’ is another classic, of which this musical has numerous, and one that you can’t help but sing along to!
