AlAN JAY lERNER (Book and Lyrics) &FREdERICK lOEWE (Music) Alan Jay Lerner

got his beginnings writing musicals as a sophomore

at Harvard for the Hasty Pudding Club. His first

musical, a 1938 collaboration with Nathaniel

Benchley and Benjamin Welles, was a satirical

salute to Hitler and Mussolini, So Proudly We Hail.

The son of a Viennese actor-singer and a piano

prodigy himself by the age of four, Frederick

Loewe was exposed to music all his life. At thir-

teen, he debuted with the Berlin Symphony Orches-

tra and continued to perform in many concert halls

after coming to the United States in 1930. Lerner

approached Loewe at the Lambs Club in New York

in 1942, and the composer/lyricist team was born.

Lerner's first Broadway collaboration with Loewe

was the production of What's Up? which ran for a

modest eight weeks. In 1947, their labors paid off

with the creation of the fantastical Brigadoon, win-

ner of the New York Critics' Circle award as the

Best Musical of the Year. In 1948, Lerner wrote

the book and lyrics to Love Life, with the music by

Kurt Weill. He was then commissioned by Holly-

wood to write a libretto for "An American in Paris,"

which became the first film musical to win an

Oscar. While Lerner and Loewe were working on

their 1951 stage musical Paint Your Wagon, the

writing of My Fair Lady began. Two years after

its tremendous Broadway success, the pair collab-

orated once again on a musical film version of

"Gigi," which won nine Oscars. In 1960, four and

a half years after My Fair Lady topped Broadway

charts, Camelot was brought to the stage. With

Julie Andrews and Richard Burton heading the

cast, it had a very successful run of 25 months on

Broadway, totaling 873 performances. After the

success of Camelot, Loewe retired to the French

Riviera and Lerner continued to write. Despite

Loewe's retirement, they collaborated on two more

ventures in the early 1970s: The Little Prince and

the transference to the stage of Gigi, the film that

they had produced years earlier.

JEFFREY B. MOSS (Director) is an award-win-

ning director of live theatre - both in America and

and musicals such as Passin’ It On By, by Larry

Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, Music Of The

Night, 42nd Street, Annie Get Your Gun, MAME,

praised new production of RAGS for The Coconut

Grove Playhouse and Paper Mill Playhouse and is

staging of The Rothschild. Martin, a new musical

by Charles Strouse and Leslie Lee will open in
