Book synopsis

Rouben Mamoulian directed the original production of Porgy and Bess, the opera that catapulted his career and led to both successes and failures. With newly released information, Joseph Horowitz shows that, more than any other individual, Mamoulian transformed DuBose Heyward's 1925 novella, into an epic theatre work. In vividly rendered scenes, "On My Way" transports readers to the rehearsals and performances that Mamoulian singularly reconceived and choreographed and the laudatory or scathing reviews that followed. Part history and part biography, "On My Way" re-creates Mamoulian's unique directorial style on stage and screen, his collaboration with musical genius George Gershwin and the opera that changed the face of American musical life.
