Summary of Defying Gravity: The Creative Career of Stephen Schwartz, from Godspell to Wicked
Defying Gravity takes readers into the creative world of Broadway and film composer Stephen Schwartz, from writing Godspell's score at age 23 through the making of the megahit Wicked. For this first authorized biography, de Giere draws from 80 hours of interviews with Schwartz and over 100 interviews with his colleagues, friends, and family. Her sympathetic yet frank narrative reveals never-before-told stories and explores both Schwartz's phenomenal hits and expensive flops. The book also includes a series of ?Creativity Notes? with insights about artistic life, and more than 200 photographs and illustrations.Theater Books
