A beautiful hardcover selection of the most memorable and beloved lyrics of America’s greatest composer and lyricist, Stephen Sondheim. AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET. Legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim (1930-2021) made his Broadway debut with West Side Story in 1957 at the age of twenty-seven. Along his remarkable and wide-ranging career spanning more than six decades, he accumulated accolades that include eight Tony Awards, an Academy Award, eight Grammy Awards, six Laurence Olivier Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, the Kennedy Center Honors, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Sondheim redefined musical theater with his groundbreaking work, combining words and music in ways that are by turns challenging, moving, witty, profound, and never less than exhilarating. This volume includes a selection of lyrics from across his career, drawn from shows including West Side Story, Gypsy, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, and more, including: • “Somewhere” from West Side Story • “Momma’s Talkin’ Soft” from Gypsy • “A Hero is Coming” from Anyone Can Whistle • “Someone Like You” from Do I Hear A Waltz • “Being Alive” from Company • “The Road You Didn’t Take” from Follies • “Send in the Clowns” from A Little Night Music • “Not While I’m Around” from Sweeney Todd • “Sunday” from Sunday in the Park with George • “Children Will Listen” from Into the Woods The result is a delightful pocket-sized treasury of the very best of Sondheim. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
The first and only full-scale and definitive biography of one of the the most important composer-lyricists in musical theater. A remarkable portrait of the man, the music, and the genius of Stephen Sondheim: star of his own fascinating life. Drawing on personal conversations with Sondheim himself, as well as interviews with his friends, family, collaborators, and lovers, Secrest offers new insight into the enigmatic and very private Stephen Sondheim. Here, we learn about his childhood on New York’s Upper West Side, his parents’ devastating divorce, and his ascent to the peaks of the Broadway musical. Secrest vividly recreates the energy, passion, and despair that went into each beloved show, from Sondheim’s fabled collaboration with Hal Prince on Sweeney Todd and A Little Night Music, to his disagreements with co-lyricist Leonard Bernstein on West Side Story.
The much-beloved musical by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, available again in print for the first time in 20 years. Written over forty years ago, Sondheim and Furth's spirited and affecting Merrily We Roll Along boasts an innovative structure that begins in the present and moves backwards in time over 20 years, tracing the personal and professional lives of a successful producer and composer and his two (now estranged) friends. With wit, irony, and a crackling score by Sondheim, Merrily poignantly captures the ways success can corrupt youthful ideals, and crumble the foundations of friendship in its wake.

When Elise Wolf leaves her failing indie rock band for home, she discovers famous rock star Tristan Morgan has purchased her family's violin shop. But Elise has secretly hocked her family's heirloom violin, needs a job pronto, and violins are all she knows. Sidelined at home with a vocal cord issue and not knowing if he'll ever sing again, Tristan bought the local music shop complete with upstairs apartment as a backup plan. He just never imagined the previous owner's daughter would keep popping up begging for job. While Tristan finds Elise persistent and annoying, he admits he knows very little about the music shop business. He hires her to help him sell off the inventory and prove he is the antithesis of the rock star she believes he is. When she leaves her laptop open on a dating app, he uses an anonymous name and befriends her. His plan is to set her straight on a few things and never meet face to face. Surprisingly, through their messages, he discovers they have a connection and working side by side, he feels a spark. Elise's perception of Tristan is that he's just another reckless, egotistical rock star. But when they have to work together on a daily basis, she discovers the rocker has a real talent for classical music and his kindness and sincerity begins to knock down the hardened walls around her heart. Maybe even enough to meet the person she's been talking to on a dating app. While Elise is blissfully unaware that he is the one on the other side of the screen, Tristan knows he's screwed. He needs to come clean with his real identity, but he's afraid there's a good chance someone's heart will be broken. And it will probably be his. Workplace romantic comedy with a You've Got Mail vibe. Slow burn to high heat. No cliffhanger.
