About this book

Sam Wasson's biography examines the life and career of Bob Fosse, the only person to win Oscar, Emmy, and Tony awards in the same year. Fosse revolutionized American entertainment through his distinctive style, which influenced generations of performers. His major works include Cabaret, Pippin, All That Jazz, and Chicago, one of the longest-running Broadway musicals. Despite his professional achievements, Fosse's personal life was marked by significant struggles. Wasson draws on unpublished material and hundreds of sources—including friends, enemies, lovers, and collaborators, many speaking publicly about Fosse for the first time—to construct a detailed account of this complex figure in Broadway and Hollywood history.
