520 a| This book offers a wide-ranging historical investigation of the landmark works and extraordinary career of Stephen Sondheim. Each author uncovers those aspects of biography, collaborative process, and contemporary context that impacted the creation and reception of Sondheim's musicals. In addition, several authors explore in detail how Sondheim's shows have been dramatically revised and adapted over time, inviting a reassessment of Sondheim's works from a distinctly contemporary critical perspective. Through chapters focused on individual musicals, and others that explore a specific topic as manifested throughout his entire career; by digging deep into the archives and focusing intently on his scores; from interviews with performers, directors, and bookwriters, and close study of live and recorded productions--the editor brings together Sondheim's past with the present thriving existence of his musicals.;
