Bob Fosse revolutionized modern musical theater and was the perfect example of the bright light who burned too hot.This biography effectively goes into Fosses head and fully reveals why he was such a perfectionist; control freak and self destructive madman. His friendship with Paddy Chayefsky was absolutely fascinating as was his relationships with all the NY showbiz Illuminati; some who were friends and many who were competitors.The author does an excellent job centering the story around Fosses death with each chapter counting down the years toward his final embrace with Angelique; his angel of death.A bonus is great insight into the lives of the main women in his life (other than his mother) Gwen Verdon; Anne Reinking and of course; the intensely influential burlesque strippers of his showbiz youth.Great; highly readable biography. Highly recommended9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Brilliant literary pas de deuxBy Kindle CustomerThis is possibly the best book about American Musical Theater I have ever read. Sam Wasson manages to pull off a literary pas de deux writing exactly like Bob Fosse danced and choreographed. Reading this book is like watching a Fosse show. Wassen slides;glides and shuffles through this story of a tortured and talented man. From the curious detachment of his parents while he endured sexual abuse as a young man to the utter disregard for his various heath issues Fosse changed American musical Theater and danced it into the 20th century. Somehow he partnered with his demons to create brilliant theater. His relationship with Gwen Verdun is the stuff of theatrical legend. She was his lover;wife;muse and friend who understood him in spite of him.In addition to finding Fosses life fascinating; I was awed by Sam Wassons writing. His sentence crafting employs the same genius and quirky energy that Bob Fosses dances did. Somehow he manages to tell the story;warts and all; without resorting to tawdry tales that usually inform these biographies. And Bob Fosse definitely had some tawdry!If you love and miss the Golden age of American Musical theater read this book .3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. AMPHETAMINES; CIGARETTES; COFFEE : Bob Fosses Three Basic Food GroupsBy ByrdManA Great read about a seminal figure in the popular cultue of the 20th Century --- a brilliant but completely neurotic ego-maniac with no impulse control.But what a brilliant dancer; choreographer; director; film-maker bon-vivant whose personal demons were responsible for his early death.It helped me understand my own personal obsessions as a visual artist; and the books melancholy tale of the theatre world stays with me even now.Alas; he considered himself a complete fraud and an artistic failure; even when he became a legend of Theatre; Dance Film.
