Matching Minds with Sondheim
The Puzzles and Games of the Broadway Legend
Matching Minds will do more than describe Sondheim’s work. It will allow readers to match minds with the maestro by attempting to solve Sondheimian puzzles and bring Sondheimian games into their own homes.
“If you’re bedazzled by Stephen Sondheim and want to get inside his mind, you need this book.” —Daniel Okrent, author of the forthcoming Stephen Sondheim: Art Isn’t Easy

“Matching Minds with Sondheim reveals how before Stephen Sondheim was a musical theater god he was the puzzle editor at New York magazine, making ‘order out of chaos’ on a weekly basis. Discover how puzzles weren’t just a hobby for Steve, but a window into his brilliant mind and his ever-illuminating music.”
