Biography
Description
Don't dance for the audience.
Dance for yourself.The
basis for a
lavish new drama series from Hamilton creator
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Fosse is the definitive book
on one of Broadway's and Hollywood's most complex
and dynamic icons.The only person ever to win
Oscar,
2
Emmy and Tony awards in the same year, Bob Fosse
revolutionised almost every facet of American
entertainment. A ground-breaking dancer,
choreographer, and theatre and film director, his
innumerable achievements include Cabaret, All
That Jazz and Chicago, one of the longest-running
Broadway musicals ever. Yet his offstage life was
equally dramatic, marked by deep psychological
wounds and insatiable appetites.In this richly
detailed and beautifully written biography, Sam
Wasson draws on a wealth of unpublished material
and over 300 interviews with Fosse's family,
friends, enemies, lovers and collaborators, many
of them speaking publicly about Fosse for the
first time. Fosse is a book bursting with energy
and style, pleasure and pain - much like the man
himself.
