An Evening with Alan Jay Lerner
27 March, 1988
Role: Performer

A biography of the veteran producer/director Hugh Wooldridge explains that Wooldridge first directed and co-produced An Evening with Alan Jay Lerner at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, with Placido Domingo and a host of stars. That performance raised funds for Cancer Research and is available on CD.

The event was remounted in March 1988 at the Opera House, Manchester, with Richard Harris headlining the roster of stars.

And, according to the poster pictured at right, Jeremy Brett was one of the "twinklers" among the stars. Alan Jay Lerner had written the book and lyrics to My Fair Lady, so we hope Jeremy finally got a chance to give Freddy his voice!
