Media Reviews

This is the definitive biography.
-- The Houston Chronicle
To read Ms. Jowitt's extraordinarily revealing book is to be in the presence of Jerome Robbins.
-- Edward Villella
It is candid yet balanced, insightful about his work and revelatory about his theater. It lays bare the tension between Robbins the person and Robbins the artist.
-- Los Angeles Times
Jowitt's fascinating biography of the innovative director of Broadway musicals and choreographer of masterpieces for the New York City Ballet...trenchantly reveal[s] Robbins's relationship with his own beliefs....Compelling.
