"I can think of no better way of kicking off BROADWAY IN CONCERT on PBS than with a musical celebration of the extraordinary songs of Lerner and Loewe," said Robert Pullen, executive producer of Nouveau Productions. "Their work is simply timeless and has shaped musical theater as we know it."

An Evening with Lerner and Loewe - Broadway in Concert is directed by Tara Young and associate directed by Leah Hoffman. The concert features lighting design by Chris Montrie, with musical direction by Luke Frazier. The orchestra arrangements have been reimagined by Luke Frazier with members of the American Pops Orchestra and filmed in multiple locations including DC and Los Angeles. This concert was made possible through a special arrangement between Nouveau Productions and the Alan Jay Lerner Testamentary Trust and the Frederick Loewe Foundation.
