Summary

Ethan Mordden provides fresh insights and analyses of every Sondheim show, from his first hit (West Side Story, 1957) to his most recent title (Road Show, 2008). Each musical has a dedicated chapter, including articles on Sondheim's life and his major influences, and comprehensive bibliographical and discographical essays place the Sondheim literature and recordings in perspective. Writing with his usual blend of the scholarly and the popular—with a wicked sense of humor—Ethan Mordden reveals why Stephen Sondheim has become Broadway's most significant voice in the last fifty years.
