Paint Your Wagon, according to Encores!, is "a rousing 1951 musical about a dreaming gold prospector (Carradine) whose daughter (Socha) finds gold—and love—changing their lives forever."

The musical, which preceded Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady and Camelot, opened on Broadway November 12, 1951, and ran for 289 performances. Songs include "They Call the Wind Maria," "I Talk to the Trees" and "Wand'rin' Star."
