Book Reviews of Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent
Book Review: Surprisingly good
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a fan of Rent. I've seen it twice live, watched the movie twice, and I own the soundtrack for both the Broadway musical and the movie. I had read good reviews about the book, so I bought it. I found it to be easy to read, interesting and entertaining. I especially enjoyed reading about the very early days of the production.
Anthony did an excellent job of story-telling and pulling me into his experience. His descriptions of events concerning his mother and his relationships were very good. I was pleased I bought the book and took the time to read it. Rent fans will enjoy his account.
Summary of Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent
Anthony Rapp had a special feeling about Jonathan Larson's rock musical Rent as early as his first audition, which won him a starring role as the video artist Mark Cohen. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Rent opened to thunderous acclaim off-Broadway -- but even as friends and family were celebrating the show's first success, they were also mourning Jonathan Larson's sudden death from an aortic aneurysm. And when Anthony's mom began to lose her battle with cancer, Anthony found himself struggling to balance his life in the theater with his responsibility to his family.In Without You, Anthony tells of his exhilarating journey with the cast and crew of Rent as well as the intimacies of his personal life behind the curtain. Marked by fledgling love and devastating loss, Without You is an exceptional memoir of the world of theater, the love of a son for his mother, and maturity won far too early.
