Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber: the New Musical
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Oxford University Press
- Publish date: 09/01/2001
In his quest, Citron offers unique insight into each artist's working methods, analyzing their scores -- including their early works and works-in-progress. As in Citron's previously critically acclaimed books in this series, great significance is given to the impact their youthful training and private lives have had upon their amazing creative output. Beginning with Sondheim's lyrics-only works, such as West Side Story and Gypsy through his scores for Company, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday In the Park, and Passion, all these milestones of musical theater have been explored. Lloyd-Webber's musical contribution from his early work, The Likes of Us, to Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, to Whistle Down the Wind are also thoroughly analyzed.
Complete with a quadruple chronology (Sondheim, Lloyd-Webber, US Theater, British Theater), copious quotations from their works, and many never before published illustrations, Sondheim & Lloyd-Webber is a must-read for anyone interested in the contemporary theater.
