A pure delight. Lerner, a librettist, and his partner, composer Fritz Loewe, were giants of the American musical theater. Together they were responsible for such Broadway hits as BRIGADOON, PAINT YOUR WAGON, MY FAIR LADY, GIGI and CAMELOT. David Case's reading captures Lerner's understated brilliance, wit and sophistication, and provides insight into how much hard work it took to make it all look easy. The listener is transported into a sadly bygone era of magic and grace when giants like Moss Hart, Richard Burton and Rex Harrison ruled the stage. These are cruder times, full of coarser fare, but this audio will leave you humming. "Oh, wouldn't it be lover-ly." M.D.B. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Alan Jay Lerner (1918-1986) wrote lyrics to BRIGADOON, LOVE LIFE, PAINT YOUR WAGON, MY FAIR LADY, GIGI, and CAMELOT, among others. He was the author of THE MUSICAL THEATRE: A CELEBRATION. THE STREET WHERE I LIVE is a warm, loving and often hilarious memoir of a great era in American musical theatre and of the cast that made it possible: Moss Hart, Fritz Loewe, Julie Andrews, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Cecil Beaton, Louis Jourdan, Maurice Chevalier, Leslie Caron, Vincente Minelli, Arthur Freed, and many others. How these people worked together to conceive, finance, write, produce, stage, and present these brilliant shows is detailed here.
