Woof! I just saw the amazing Mr. B: George Balanchine's 20th Century, and it was GREAT!! I was totally bowled over by its breadth of knowledge, insight into his legacy, and intimate details of personal relationships that were so powerful they brought tears to my eyes!
I'm an aficionado of ballet, so this book was perfect for me – it combined essential facts with anecdotes about his many iconic works as well as behind-the-scenes information about life in the theater spiced up with juicy gossip too delicious to resist. All told, a highly satisfying read from cover to cover!
If you love dance or are curious about Mr. Balanchine's genius, then I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr B: George Balanchine's 20th Century. Trust me on this one; treat yourself and you'll be glad you did!!! Woof woof!
