Stephen Sondheim, A Life
The first and only full-scale and definitive biography of the most important composer-lyricist in musical theater today.
Drawing on personal conversations with Sondheim himself, as well as interviews with his friends, family, collaborators, and
more, Secrest offers new insight into the enigmatic and very private Stephen Sondheim. Secrest vividly recreates the
energy, passion, and despair that went into each beloved show, from Sondheim’s fabled collaboration with Hal Prince on
Sweeney Todd and A Little Night Music, to his disagreements with co-lyricist Leonard Bernstein on West Side
Story. A fascinating and remarkable portrait of the man, the music, and the genius of Stephen Sondheim: star of his own
fascinating and unfinished life.
