 Where is the praise for Sondheim's book Finishing the Hat? I received mine last week, and have had an almost religious experience reading it. As far as I can tell, it's the definitive work on lyrics in musical theatre.

Re: Where is the praise for Sondheim's book Finishing the Ha I LOVE IT.
From now on whenever I refer to "The Bible", I'm talking about this book.

Re: Where is the praise for Sondheim's book Finishing the Ha I am waiting eagerly for my copy, which should arrive today, so I really hope it gets here tomorrow! The only problem is that when I get the book, my head will be nowhere else.

Sondheim's FINISHING THE HAT It is a marvellous book, all the more so for Sondheim's commentary on the craft of creating musical theatre. I'm dipping in and out of it as I have time and started a series of reflections on my blog, to which I'll add as I continue to make my way through the book.

Re: Where is the praise for Sondheim's book Finishing the Ha It's a superb book, for its honesty as much as its detail on the subject of lyric writing. Whether you like Sondheim or not, this is one of the definitive books for musical theatre enthusiasts.

Sondheim's FINISHING THE HAT Here is a great clip of Sondheim promoting the book on The Colbert Report. Nothing profound, just a great bit of good humoured fun. Oh - and Sondheim revealed the name of the second volume: Look, I Made a Hat.

Re: Sondheim's FINISHING THE HAT I loved this interview. I especially loved Colbert's new version of Send in the Clowns.
