ONE Lerner and Loewe Master Class left with Peter Filichia!!!
Just You Wait: Peter Filichia teaches two Master Classes on the artists behind My Fair Lady and Camelot.
The Broadway Maven is offering a summer set of two Master Classes taught by Broadway author and critic Peter Filichia. These Master Classes analyze two classic Broadway musicals, My Fair Lady and Camelot, as well as the men who created these wonderful works: lyricist and librettist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe. Lerner and Loewe’s partnership will be examined from the late 1950s, creating both My Fair Lady and Camelot within a four year span.
Peter will be lecturing on the history, reception, and stories from the stage and screen on the development of these musicals and presenting insight on the lives and efforts of the men who made these musicals part of the musical theater canon.
July 18, Noon to 1:15 pm ET: Camelot
After that, the price is $25 for the series. Capacity is limited to the first 99 registrants. No refunds, no partial registrations, no exceptions.

Peter’s Trivia Section
Here’s a really silly one: If Sutton Foster had gained an inordinate amount of weight during the middle months of 2014 – she didn’t, mind you, but let’s pretend she did – what might an insensitive backstage visitor have said to her at the end of one of her performances?
