What The Reviewers Say

[A] fascinating and rigorous, no-punches-pulled investigation into the provenance and parturition of his and Stephen Sondheim’s first collaboration.
Terry Teachout,
Wall Street Journal
It is based on interviews with some 40 people who worked on the show, Mr. Sondheim foremost among them, and all are forthright and revealing, as well as amusing.

... absorbing.
Peter Piatkowski,
Pop Matters
