Book Reviews of Dance with Demons: The Life of Jerome Robbins
Book Review: A real page-turner!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jerome Robbins was an extremely complex and difficult man -- and a genius. His choreography was more highly rated than Balanchine's in France, for instance. In this very well written book the reader is able to go inside the worlds of ballet and musical theater through endless but never boring details. "West Side Story" is Robbins's most famous work; he won two Oscars for the movie, but had been fired from the production! Marvelous insights into the personalities and talents of a generation of theatrical wizards in New York, particularly in the '50s. You don't have to be a ballet fan to enjoy this book.
