jules711 avatar reviewed on


An honest retelling of one man's experience of love and death as it relates to his time in the Broadway musical, RENT. Anthony Rapp was one of the original cast members of the show and tells of his experience auditioning for the workshop and being called back for the Broadway production while his mother was dying from cancer. He also includes insight on what it was like to receive the news that Jonathan Larson, the show's creator, had died the night before the first preview. A must read for anyone who has been a fan of Anthony's work or of the musical, RENT.
