Benedict and Random House aim to make “How Did It Happen” the definitive biography about Sondheim, previously the subject of Meryle Secrest’s 1998 book “Stephen Sondheim: A Life.”
Random House vice president and exec editor David Ebershoff picked up the North American rights to the book from the Wylie Agency’s Andrew Wylie. Benedict is expected to deliver his first draft of “How Did It Happen” by December 2017.
Random House has acquired a new biography of musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim, to be written by Variety‘s London theater critic David Benedict.

Thanks, Horse Tears. Can't wait. I'm sure none of us can. After all, there's been so little written about him up till now.
