works and those of their contemporaries. The book looks at each artist's

assess the significance of both on their creative output. Scores and lyrics
explored include: for Sondheim, "West Side Story", "Gypsy", A Little Night
Music", and "Sunday in the Park"; and for Lloyd-Webber, "Jesus Christ
Superstar", "Evita", "Cats", and "The Phantom of the Opera". A dual biography of two leading contemporary contributors to the lyrical
