As a longtime thespian and theater-lover, I was in line for this book before the store even opened. I loved it so much that I am giving it to all my friends as gifts. The authors give a full account of the entire process of creating this masterpiece and the "interview" format allows for first hand information from all those that participated. The best theater book ever written!!!!!Book Review: Deep Insight Into the World of RENT

Summary: 5 Stars
Of all all the Broadway "coffee table" books, RENT ranks first. The background on Jonathan Larson provided so much more perspective than I had ever imagined.
As a teacher, I have used the RENT book in my classroom, and have had all of my classes singing and dancing to "Seasons of Love."
As an adolescent of the 60's, and a young adult in the 70's, HAIR and A CHORUS LINE were the most important theatrical memories of my life.
As I approached middle age over night, and just when I had been losing faith in the musical theatre of the late 20th Century, RENT came along, and provided me with not only hope, but with a renewal of my own life.
The photographs are as vivid and as passionate as sitting in the Nederlander Theatre.
The RENT book will be a salient addition to my library, and I will continue to celebrate "La Vie Boeheme!"
