5.0 out of 5 stars
Stunningly beautiful, intelligent, fun, and engaging,
By Miss Otis "Miss Otis" (Peoria, Il) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fascinating Rhythm: The Collaboration of George and Ira Gershwin (Paperback)
When this book came out I was graduating from college with atheatre degree. A little lost, but in love with a recording of StrikeUp the Band, I bought this book. This beautiful book gripped me,delighted me and enchanted me. 7 years later, I'm writing my dissertation on musical theatre, with my first chapter (and my favorite) on the Gershwins. Deena Rosenburg's book is a model of what musical theatre biographies can be--history on the authors, the shows and the times. I won't wreck the ending for you, but it is one of the only non-fiction books I could say that about. I spent a week as spellbound as I was when reading The Lord of the Ring, and I will always hold this up as a fabulous book to introduce anyone to musical theatre and a joy. Bravo! END
