As he did in the acclaimed Finishing the Hat" Sondheim richly annotates his lyrics with personal & theatre history discussions of his collaborations & exacting charming dissections of his work
- both the successes & the failures. Picking up where he left off in " Finishing the Hat" he gives us all the lyrics along with cutouts & early drafts to the Pulitzer Prize-winning " Sunday in the Park with George" as well as " Into the Woods" " Assassins" & " Passion". Here too is an in-depth look at " Wise Guys" subsequently transformed into " Bounce" & eventually into " Road Show". & we are treated to chapters on his work for television & film & his "orphan songs" culled from parodies & special occasions over the years. Filled with behind-the-scenes photographs & illustrations from original manuscripts & with the same elegant design as the earlier book " Look I Made A Hat" will be devoured by Sondheims passionate fans today & for years to come."
