Critics Review
Praise for Working on a Song: “Working On A Song is one of the best books about lyric writing for the theater I’ve read. Up there w the Sondheim Tomes and Ira Gershwin’s book. Specifically, re-writing, and revising, and holding on to your voice while telling your story.”—Lin-Manuel Miranda
