Those familiar with the musical can almost imagine the rest, though some intentional plot deviations may keep them on their toes.
Culinarian-in- training Helena Higgins sets her sights on turning street-food vendor Elijah Little into a “gentleman chef” for her final project. Gender roles have taken steps, albeit small ones, toward being less restrictive than they actually were at that time, and the profession of Culinarian is reserved for women, with its practitioners revered. This clever, gender-swapped retelling of My Fair Lady is set in an alternate version of 1830s England ruled by Queen Charlotte (who, a historical note explains, was King George IV’s only heir but died before ascending the throne).
