About this book

"In twelve portraits, Lawrence Thelen lets us see how these creative minds work, and what it takes to make musical theatre happen."--BOOK JACKET. "Backstage with Lawrence Thelen we listen as these directors talk about careers and ideas. James Lapine's early involvement with photography becomes an influence on Sunday in the Park with George; Harold Prince's early desire to be a playwright is rechanneled into directing; George C. Wolfe speaks of the ongoing involvement of black artists with musicals since the last century; Jerome Robbins, in his final interview, considers collaboration and the role of dance in the musical."--BOOK JACKET.
