Don't tell me you came all the way to London to see that. I must agree, Martine was very disappointing. Anyone watch Jonathan Pryce's face when she won the Olivier?

Martine (despite all the media hype and her appropriateness for the role) indeed turned out to be a bitter, bitter disappointment as Eliza.
As for a favourite recording, it's a toss-up between the 1956 OBC (in sublime mono); and the 1961 German cast album, where Karin Huebner is amazingly good.

Re: what's your fave MFL record
Rex Harrison as Higgins and Julie Andrews as Eliza are amazing in the OBC recording.
