Review

"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." -- The New York Times Book Review (front page)"Ms. Jowitt's book has the authenticity that comes only from being there." -- Twyla Tharp

Any valid bio of Robbins would have to result in a narrative of the development of dance and musical theatre in America, since the 1940s. While Jowitt gives us the, often sad, milestones in this man's life, her major thrust throughout this long and always exciting book is on his work. She delves into virtually every creation of his, including his generally poorly received occasional forays into non-musical theatre. Detailed attention is given to both concept, creation and execution of his prolific endeavors. Her in depth analysis of each of his works, often quite technical, VIVIDLY recall many great performances of these masterpieces.While not necessarily for those with a casual interest in dance, the facts of his life, as well as the cavalcade of his shows and ballets, makes for a read that is always more than just factual. Interestingly, Jowitt seems never to editorialize on Robbins' work. But then again, why attempt to laud a universally acclaimed genius ?

Very well-done. Not unpleasantly gossipy. Serious about America's best home-grown ballet choreographer....and superlative B'way man

Iam very happy to have found this book

Fabulously detailed, scholarly and exhaustive biography. In addition, it is a masterly survey of 20th century modern dance in the US.

Great book and in really good condition.

This book is horrible. I really don’t understand why it has so many 5 star reviews. If I could give it zero I would. I’m a fan of Jerome Robbins so it shouldn’t be this hard to read but it’s nearly impossible especially considering there’s a ton of rambling information that isn’t about Jerome Robbins himself. This 516 page book had no business being that long and really didn’t need to be. I have to read this for a class but at this point I’m just skimming it and highlighting things because reading it is not only a bore, but also a waste of time that I don’t have to spare. If I were Jerome Robbins I would be so disappointed that this were a “biography” about me.

Excellent biography of Jerry Rabinowitz, who as Jerome Robbins, shone brilliantly as dancer and then creator of dance, both for Broadway and Dance stages until his death at age 80. Given the difference in audience size, he is most likely best to be remembered for his theater work and its reproduction in Hollywood films than for his ballet work centered in the Old City Center and New Lincoln Center buildings in New York City. (As the author points out, his perfectionist approach to filming dance lost him his chance to direct his own work in Hollywood...put more precisely, he was fired while working on his first assignment there.)I cannot compare this with other of the several biographies available since I have not read them. I can say that this will tell you all that the average reader wants to know about the choreographer, his career and personal life. She has had access to his voluminous personal records as well as many others relevant to his life and work. Many co-workers, friends (and enemies) have been interviewed and the published material scoured as well. One of the reviewers found her writing quite repellent, I did not. The author writes clearly and balances his virtues with his uncanny ability to behave so as to alienate even a Saint. He was an anxious perfectionist, as she portrays him, and also had an ungovernable temper, easily touched off by almost anything done by those whose work he supervised as well as by collaborators in his various endeavors. Extensive but intermittent psychoanalysis presumably led to some of the self-understanding manifest in his diary and letters, but understanding, unfortunately, never insuresself control. On specific issues, such as his naming names in his testimony as a former communist, she is fair in conveying both his motivations (as best they can be captured) and his sense of guilt over his actions. At any rate, the book has about 500 pages of text, details of his life, and his creative process in action to give us a fair idea of the person. No book can replace personal association in intimate circumstances but there is enough here to convey a general understanding of the man and his work....allowing the limitations of any biography.In sum, despite its length, my interest never flagged. I commend the book to any general reader seeking to know the man behind some of the best dance that Broadway, the Ballet stage and Hollywood, had to offer us during his working lifetime.
