Rehearsals began on January 3, 1956. In his memoir, The Street Where I Live, Alan Jay Lerner wrote that the title My Fair Lady was decided upon after rehearsals started, but research by Dominic McHugh, presented in his book Loverly: The Life and Times of My Fair Lady, reveals that the title was decided upon during the second half of December 1955. It was quite official by December 30, 1955, when producer Herman Levin sent record producer Goddard Lieberson an outline of the billing sheet for use on the cover of the original cast album, with the title My Fair Lady prominently stamped upon it.
