Broadway, the Golden Years Jerome Robbins and the Great Choreographer-Directors, 1940 to the Present

"The author's admiration for his subjects is evident, his descriptions of particular dances are wonderfully vivid, and he makes good use of quotes from interviews and previous books to cogently reveal the methods each choreographer-director employed to achieve dramatic and visual effects. His text is stronger point-to-point than in its infrequent passages of thematic analysis, but it does trace a direct line from de Mille and Robbins through Bob Fosse and Gower Champion to Michael Bennett and Tommy Tune. Indeed, tracing the connections among his talented cast of characters is one of the things Long does best."Long, Robert Emmet is the author of 'Broadway, the Golden Years Jerome Robbins and the Great Choreographer-Directors, 1940 to the Present', published 2001 under ISBN 9780826413475 and ISBN 0826413471.
