Title: A must read for any Sondheim fan
Review: This book is a wealth of information for anyone who loves Sondheim or musical theatre in general. I consider myself a Sonheim fanatic, but I still found information in this book that I had never heard before. To top it off, the book contains anecdotes and black and white photos of other Broadway legends like Harold Prince and Jerome Robbins.The author does stray from the topic at hand from time to time and goes off on some interesting yet irrelevant tangents. Also, in attempting to briefly summarize some of Sondheim's shows, Meryle Secrest is, at times, incorrect about the events or actions in the play.Aside from these minor infringements, which any semi-knowledgeable reader would easily recognize, the book is interesting and compelling. I couldn't put it down.
