THE MUSICAL THEATRE ~ A CELEBRATION Hard to Find Out of Print Book by Alan Jay Lerner Alan Jay Lerner, who wrote among many others the lyrics for My Fair Lady and Gigi, tells here the story of the musical theatre - the art form inw hich he himself worked with such distinction. It has been said that the musical is the greatest contribution the United States has made to the popular enjoyment of the human race. It is certainly one of America's few original art forms. Alan Jay Lerner traces its origin in operetta and opéra bouffe and records the emergence of native American talent ini the twentieth century. In a series of pen portraits that sparkle with insights, he describes the contribution of great composers and lyricists like Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, George Gershwin, George Kaufman, Otto Harbach, Frederick Loewe, Oscar Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Stephen Sondheim, Lloyd Webber and many others: he charts the genesis and success of popular shows like No! No! Nanette!, Show Boat, Porgy and Bess, Oklahoma!, Guys and Dolls, Kiss Me Kate, A Chorus Line, Cats and his own Brigadoon, Camelot and My Fair Lady and he records the disappointments and heartbreaks of many more that failed to make it on Broadway. This book is illustrated throughout with a wealth of evocative pictures.
