Seller's Description:
First edition of this classic work. Octavo, original cloth. Warmly Inscribed by both Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim on the half-title page. Fine in a near fine bright jacket without the fading usually encountered with the spine. Anyone can whistle is a play written by the same author of the West Side Story, and it was performed on Broadway in 1964, Carnegie Hall concert in 1995, and the New York City Center Encores in 2010. The New York Times wrote that Laurents' "book lacks the fantasy that would make the idea work, and his staging has not improved matters. Mr. Sondheim has written several pleasing songs but not enough of them to give the musical wings. The performers yell rather than talk and run rather than walk. The dancing is the cream." And Steven Suskin wrote, the "fascinating extended musical scenes, with extended choral work, ...immediately marked Sondheim as the most distinctive theatre composer of his time. The first act sanity sequence...and the third act chase...are unlike anything that came before."

Seller's Description:
Hardcover. First edition. A very good book in a close to fine dust jacket. One short closed tear to top of the front panel of the jacket. A lovely jacket with no sunning to the spine. The book has some offsetting to the front and rear pastedowns and evidence of sticker removal to the front pastedown. Signed and inscribed by Stephen Sondheim on the front free endpaper: "For Jane and Bob from Stephen Sondheim 12/31/81." And also signed by Arthur Laurents on a bookplate laid into the book. Jane and Bob Emerson managed the Drama Book Shop in Manhattan for many years, the go-to bookshop for theater professionals and aficionados. An uncommon book signed. The show closed after 12 previews and 9 performances but has since been acclaimed as part of Sondheim's canon and a cult favorite. Signed by the author.
