"This is an extremely comprehensive, well-balanced and rich survey of Andrew Lloyd Webber's entire career."—William A.

Book BIRTH OF THE MUSICAL FOLLIES - EVERYTHING WAS POSSIBLE (TED CHAPIN) |
From Publishers Weekly Chapin tells how the 1971 Hal Prince/ Stephen Sondheim/Michael Bennett musical about old theater performers created no strapping young stars, went through multiple revisions, lost money and yet established a place in theater memory for emotional and artistic complexity.
