One difference is that in the play Pygmalion, Eliza enters the room when her father is finishing his busines of "letting her go" for a sum of five pounds. She is dressed in a Japanese kimono and Doolittle does not recognize her. In the musical, Eliza is cleaned up and dressed in Victorian clothing, not a kimono.
The ballroom scene is an "optional" scene which Shaw wrote for the screen version. Here, Pickering and Higgins are worried that the Hungarian interpreter (Nepommuck) and former student of Higgins' will discover their game. Eliza wins him over with flying colors since she is proclaimed to be royalty of some nature. This scene is not in the original play.
There is another "optional" scene in Act four when Eliza storms angrily out of Higgins' house since he has failed to recognize her part in his successes with Nepommuck. She runs into Freddy, who has been spending many of his nights gazing up at her window from the street. They kiss passionately and she suggests they ride around in a cab all night since they have been interrupted by several police officers.
In Act five, it is unclear in the film version what Eliza will do at the play's end. There is a hint that she will stay and run Higgins' household affairs and even that the two of them may become romantically involved.
In the original play, Eliza claims she will marry Freddy, but Higgins seems to think she will stay with him.
