ALAN JAY LERNER (Book and Lyrics) and FREDERICK LOEWE (Music). Alan Jay Lerner got his beginnings writing musicals as a sophomore at Harvard for the Hasty Pudding Club.  His first musical, a1938 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 thirteen, he debuted with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra 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," winner 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 Hollywood 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 collaborated once again on a musical 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.
