Description

In 1942, a chance meeting occurred between Alan Jay Lerner, a lyricist-playwright and son of the proprietor of a chain of women’s clothing stores and Frederick Loewe, an unknown Viennese composer and former boxer, cowpuncher, busboy, and gold miner. The results of this happy accident were destined to enrich American musical theater with six unforgettable collaborations on stage and screen:?Brigadoon,?Camelot,?Gigi,?The Little Prince,?My Fair Lady, and?Paint Your Wagon.
