Description: Secrest chronicles in full detail Sondheim's ascent to the peaks of the Broadway musical, from the chance meeting with playwright Arthur Laurents which led to his first success as co-lyricist on West Side Story to his collaboration with Laurents on Gypsy to his first full musical score as composer and lyricist, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Secrest documents the creation of Company, marking the start of Sondheim's nearly twenty-year collaboration with producer and director Harold Prince, a creative partnership that would bring audiences such shows as Follies, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd, and A Little Night Music.
