Reviews
""...at less than 200 pages, and given his wealth of insight, Mr. Mordden's book may be the ideal introduction to Sondheim's work for those who've just caught the bug."" -- Charles Isherwood, New York Times ""Mordden offers a highly idiosyncratic, big-picture, and completely delicious portrait of Sondheim, show by show, as one of the 20th (and 21st?) century's greatest artists."" -- Jesse Green, New York Magazine ""With this book, Ethan Mordden continues his critical examination of that body of work and, with affection and smarts, gives us a good overview. The more you know, the more you will like ON SONDHEIM."" -- Wall Street Journal ""Essential reading for lovers of Sondheim or musical theater."" -- Library Journal ""...candid and academically sound assessment of Sondheim as a unique personality creating art."" -- Broadway World ""Ethan Mordden's ON SONDHEIM is a mighty big book trapped within a slim volume... wonderfully excellent."" -- Bay Area Reporter ""If anyone has earned the right to be opinionated about the work of Stephen Sondheim, it's Ethan Morden, America's foremost historian and connosseur of musical theater."" --Stephen Kuehler, The Gay and Lesbian Review
