Sondheim: His Life, His Shows, His Legacy

From the publisher:

Brimming with insights from a veritable Who’s Who of Broadway Babies and complemented by more than 200 color and black-and-white images, Sondheim: His Life, His Shows, His Legacy offers a witty, multidimensional look at the musical genius behind Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd and the landmark West Side Story and Gypsy.

Exploring the unique bond between Stephen Sondheim ’50 and his audiences, author Stephen M. Silverman further examines the challenging Sondheim works that continue to develop devoted new followings: Anyone Can Whistle, Pacific Overtures, Merrily We Roll Along, Assassins and Passion.

The result is a lavish, highly engrossing documentation of the dynamic force who reshaped 20th-century American musical history.
