Joshua Rosenblum, a respected musical director of many Broadway musicals, took a break from the podium to write this astonishing study of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire's works. In unstinting detail, he has chronicled their great successes and bad-luck failures, all the while reminding us how great a songwriting team can be without becoming household names. And speaking of households, this book belongs in every one where a musical theater fan lives. * Peter Filichia, Broadway Radio * The best biography of a theatrical creative team that I have ever read. The author, Joshua Rosenblum, imparts his knowledge and his acumen to analyze and illuminate the works of David Shire and Richard Maltby: two lifelong friends who have formed a magical creative partnership. * Thomas Z. Shepard, Producer of numerous Broadway and Classical recordings * Author InformationJoshua Rosenblum teaches Composing for Musical Theater at Yale University and Conducting at New York University.
