<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The formative early ballets of West Side Story creators Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins explored in detail for the very first time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Leonard Bernstein and choreographer Jerome Robbins stand as giants of the musical-theatre world, but it was ballet that launched their stage careers and established their relationship. With <i>Fancy Free</i> (1944), their triumphant debut collaboration produced by Ballet Theatre, Bernstein, Robbins, and set designer Oliver Smith-all in their mid-twenties- captured the spirit of wartime New York, created a defining ballet of the period still widely performed today, and became overnight sensations. The hit musical <i>On the Town</i> (1944) and a now largely forgotten ballet, <i>Facsimile</i> (1946), followed over the next two years.<br/><br/>Drawing extensively on previously unpublished archival documents, <i>Bernstein and Robbins: The Early Ballets</i> provides a richly detailed and original historical account of the creation, premiere, and reception of <i>Fancy Free </i>and<i> Facsimile. </i>It reveals the vital and sometimes conflicting role of Ballet Theatre, explores how Bernstein composed the scores, sheds light on the central importance of Oliver Smith, and considers the legacy of these works for all involved. The result is a new understanding of Bernstein, Robbins, and this formative period in their lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>For choreographers interested in commissioning scores for their dance pieces, the information contained in this book is very useful.--Mark Kappel "NEWSNOTES DANCE BLOG"<br>
