Large-hearted, humorous, and often poignant in its reverence for a celebrated era in the American theater, it is the story of what Lerner calls the sundown of wit, eccentricity, and glamour. Try as he might to keep himself out of these pages, Lerner reveals himself to be a man of great talent, laughter, and love. Along the way, we meet a sensational supporting cast: Moss Hart, Fritz Loewe, Julie Andrews, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Cecil Beaton, Louis Jourdan, and Maurice Chevalier, to name a few. They are seen in moments of triumph and disaster, but all are professionals at the creation of theater. And the creation of theater is the matrix of this wonderful book. Including the complete lyrics to My Fair Lady, Gigi, and Camelot."--Publisher description. 600 10 $a Lerner, Alan Jay, $d 1918-1986. 650 0 $a Lyricists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Librettists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Musicals $v Anecdotes. 700 1 $a Lahr, John, $d 1941- $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063535.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=63C8D26AEAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
