PAINT YOUR WAGON LOEWE, Frederick and LERNER, Alan Jay. "PAINT YOUR WAGON." Opened in New York, 12 November 1951. Produced by Cheryl Crawford, Dances by Agnes de Mille.
LERNER AND LOEWE'S WESTERN MUSICAL: "PAINT YOUR WAGON"
The rollicking and bawdy California Gold Rush of 1849, which had fascinated Alan Lerner from his childhood, provided the setting for Paint Your Wagon, which opened at the Shubert Theater in New York in November 1951, and ran for 289 performances. Lerner studied the historical records of the Comstock community in his research, and many of the scenes (such as the Mormon who must auction his second wife before he is granted a claim) were drawn from actual incidents. Loewe, for his part, spent considerable time studying 19th century American folk music. According to Sirmay, he "wrote nearly forty songs before settling on the dozen that would appear in the show" (The Lerner and Loewe Songbook, p.84). Brooks Atkinson, in his review, wrote that Lerner and Loewe, "by mixing Western gold dust with show vitality," had "produced bountiful and exultant musical jamboree, the show featured high-energy can-cans choreographed by Agnes de Mille and many fine choral numbers. The score is noted for such enduring gems of song as "I Talk To The Trees," They Call The Wind Maria," and "I Still See Eliza." While it did not enjoy the long run of some other Lerner and Loewe classics, it won Variety's Drama Critics Poll for best score of 1951-52. Loewe's personal archive from the show is extensive and includes mostly piano-vocal scores with lyrics, many with very significant revisions and re-workings in the process of composition.
Totaling: 156 pages of manuscript music (mostly in the hand of Frederick Loewe), 18 folder covers with manuscript titles (all but a few in Loewe's hand), 32 pages mechanical copies of several numbers, with pencilled revisions and notes, two typed pages of lyrics.
