'Dance With Demons' is the first full biography of the celebrated choreographer/director of Broadway, ballet, and Hollywood - a man of towering achievement and extraordinary personal nightmares.
For decades, he was one of the most commanding creative forces in America. His work on such shows as 'On The Town', 'The King And I', 'West Side Story', 'Peter Pan', and 'Jerome Robbins' Broadway' earned him five Tony Awards and two Academy Awards. His brilliance with American Ballet Theatre and the New York City Ballet established him as one of the century's great choreographers.
This is the story that Robbins was unable to tell. Based on years of research and interviews with hundreds of Robbins's family, friends, and colleagues, it gives the full measure of both the artist and the man. Filled with stories and voices, it is a fascinating portrait of light and dark - like its subject, a work rich in complexity.
