About this title

Review:

Praise for Somewhere

"Jerome Robbins is the great subject of American theatrical biography--self-contradictory, self-hating, arrogant and terrified and gifted almost beyond compare--and Amanda Vaill has done him justice. I can't think of a better full-length portrait of an American choreographer or director, and I can't imagine a better book about Robbins ever being written."
--Terry Teachout, drama critic, The Wall Street Journal
