Welcome Claire Danes on Broadway, as she makes her debut in Pygmalion! Danes is playing the role of Eliza Doolittle in this new George Bernard Shaw's production. Pygmalion is the story of a professor named Henry Higgins. He comes across an uneducated and poor cockney girl called Eliza. The professor makes a bet of transforming this street girl of London into an elegant high society lady by changing her way of speaking. However, in the process, he finds that transforming people is not an easy task.

The role of Henry Higgins is beautifully played by Jefferson Mays. Pygmalion is a tale of human emotions that are involved in changing a person's style of living. Change does not happen overnight in an individual. Besides, it is not limited to physical appearance. There is a series of emotional considerations in teaching someone new ways of living. Pygmalion has vividly depicted this little, but vital, piece of truth.

David Grindley has directed Pygmalion. The Roundabout Theatre Company has produced it. The additional star cast is yet to be declared. The design team of this show includes Gregory Clarke for sounds, Jason ...
... Taylor for lighting, and Jonathan Fensom for costumes and sets. The team also has a dialect coach, Majella Hurley, who will help Jefferson in getting the right accent for the character of Henry Higgins, when he teaches a new dialect to Eliza in the story.

Pygmalion has proved to be an important stepping stone in Danes's career. She stars in Evening, which is a group drama. This show also stars Patrick Wilson, Glenn Close, Toni Collette, Vanessa Redgrave, and Meryl Streep. In addition to this, Danes has bagged a role in Matthew Vaughn's Stardust, starring opposite Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer!

The Roundabout Theatre Company had organized a press meet on September 4, 2007. This event doubled as welcome party for the cast of Pygmalion. The show is scheduled to run at The Roundabout Theatre from Tuesdays to Saturdays, at 8pm. On Wednesdays, Sundays, and Weekends, it will run at 2pm. On September 23, there was a special Sunday evening show of Pygmalion at 7:30pm.
