Story4.5 out of 5 stars 37
This warm, loving, and often hilarious personal history of My Fair Lady, Camelot, and Gigi describes the cast of a great era in American musical theater: Moss Heart, Fritz Loewe, Julie Andrews, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Cecil Beaton, Louis Jourdan, Maurice Chevalier, Leslie Caron, Vincente Minelli, Arthur Freed, and many others. How these people worked together to conceive, finance, write, produce, stage, and present these brilliant shows is detailed here.

Incredible Writing and Wonderful Reading
Reviewed: 03-17-22
I knew I would enjoy the book based on its author and subject matter but had no idea how much listening to it vs reading would add to the experience. The way it was read coupled with Lerner’s witty, humorous, and deeply thoughtful writing was a match made in heaven. There were multiple times while listening where although I missed a book in my hands, I was extremely grateful to have stumbled across the audio recording instead. All this enjoyment is of course due to David Case’s exemplary reading. He reads with great inflection and character and has a voice so unique and pleasing I really would like to hear him read practically every book—I’m sure it would improve the quality of each text itself ten fold.
