James Lapine's early involvement with photography becomes an influence on Sunday in the Park with George; Harold Prince's early desire to be a playwright is rechanneled into directing; George C. Wolfe speaks of the ongoing involvement of black artists with musicals since the last century; Jerome Robbins, in his final interview, considers collaboration and the role of dance in the musical."--BOOK JACKET.
