The Street Where I Live is a memoir by Alan Jay Lerner, in which he describes the genesis, writing and production of three musicals he created in partnership with the composer Frederick Loewe: My Fair Lady, Gigi and Camelot.

In 1956 the collaborators triumphed with My Fair Lady, their musical version of Shaw's Pygmalion, which broke the Broadway record for longest-running show.

[4] The My Fair Lady chapter gives Lerner's account of his meeting with the film producer Gabriel Pascal; the acquisition from Pascal's estate of the rights to adapt Shaw's play; the casting of the original production and the complications inherent in casting a non-singer, Rex Harrison, in the lead role of a musical; the selection of an unknown newcomer, Julie Andrews, as the heroine; and the choice of a veteran, Stanley Holloway, in the third star role; and the production and success of the show.

[6] In the chapter on Camelot, Lerner discusses the many problems the team had in successfully adapting T. H. White's novel The Once and Future King as a musical; the crucial role played by their director, Moss Hart, in getting the show into proper shape; and the poignant aftermath when America's former First Lady Jackie Kennedy revealed that her late husband had been inspired by "the one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot".
