THE TITANIC CHOREOGRAPHER, CREATOR OF MEMORABLE BALLETS, MASTER OF BROADWAY MUSICALS, LEGENDARY SHOW DOCTOR, AND DIRECTOR, OW REVEALED IN HIS OWN WORDS - THE CLOSEST WE WILL GET TO A MEMOIR/AUTOBIOGRAPHY - FROM HIS VOLUMINOUS LETTERS, JOURNALS, NOTES, AND DIARIES, NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED. EDITED, AND WITH COMMENTARY BY AMANDA VAILL, AUTHOR OF ROBBINS' BIOGRAPHY, 'SOMEWHERE', 2006.

He was famous for reinventing the Broadway musical, creating a vernacular American ballet, pushing the art form to new boundaries where it had never gone before, integrating dance seamlessly with character, story and music, and as Associate Artistic Director, Ballet Master, and Co-Artistic Director, with George Balanchine, shaping the New York City Ballet with daring and brio for more than five decades through his often startling choreography in ballet's classical idiom. He was known as the king of Broadway, the most sought-after director-choreographer and show doctor who gave shape to 'On the Town' , 'Call Me Madam' , 'The King and I' , 'Wonderful Town' , 'Peter Pan' , 'The Pajama Game' , 'Silk Stockings' , 'West Side Story' , 'Gypsy' , 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' , 'Funny Girl' , 'Fiddler on the Roof' , and many other classic musicals, winning four Tony Awards, two Oscars, and an Emmy. He shocked and betrayed those he loved and worked with by naming names to the House Un-American Activities Committee.  

Now, Amanda Vaill, Jerome Robbins biographer and authority, drawing on the vast and closely held Robbins archives, has put together a selection of his writings, giving us a sense of his extraordinary range as a thinker and artist, as well as a surprising and revealing glimpse into the mind and heart of this towering cultural giant. 

 Interspersed throughout, his correspondence with George Balanchine, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Robert Graves, Lincoln Kirstein, Arthur Laurents, Tanaquil Le Clercq , Laurence Olivier, Stephen Sondheim, et al.
