To me, the
biggest difference is of course that it is a musical. The songs allow the viewer to get a deeper
insight into the characters' minds and hearts.
Firstly, Higgins song about
letting a woman in his life confirms the theory that he is a misogynist who doesn't deal well
with women. He cannot truly understand them.
Secondly, When Eliza sings
"Show Me" we can see that she knows Higgins feels something for her and she is fed up
with the men in her life who are tentative when it comes to expressing emotions of the
heart.
There are many more but a scene that isn't in the play that I really
liked because it said a lot about Higgins is the scene where the two men call the police after
Eliza has disappeared. It's quite telling that the man who claimed not to care for any woman and
who was quite careless about details knew Eliza's description better than the
gentleman.
