To Broadway, To Life! The Musical Theater of Bock and Harnick is the first complete book about these creative figures, of one of Broadway's most important songwriting teams. The book draws from personal interviews with Bock and Harnick themselves to offer an in-depth exploration their shows, including Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me, and Fiorello!, and their greater place in musical theater history.
