The Musicals of Lerner & Loewe – From Brigadoon to Camelot

Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe created some of the most beloved musicals of Broadway’s Golden Age — Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, Camelot, Paint Your Wagon, and Gigi. Together, the lyricist and composer combined witty, literate lyrics with lush, unforgettable melodies to produce shows that still captivate audiences decades later. Their musicals earned Tony Awards, Oscars, and a permanent place in the American songbook.
In this fast-paced multimedia presentation, we’ll explore the fascinating story of their
partnership — from their very different backgrounds to the creative chemistry that brought their shows to life. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes stories of how each show was developed, the casting decisions that shaped their success, and the backstage dramas that sometimes threatened to derail them. We’ll also enjoy memorable video clips of their most iconic songs, performed by Broadway legends and exciting modern talents.
Along the way, we’ll look at why their work has endured, how their musicals reflected the times in which they were written, and why revivals continue to find new audiences.
The administration of John F. Kennedy will forever be connected in the public mind with the brilliant Lerner and Loewe musical, Camelot
