Every fan needs to have this ! . Review on Rent - Jonathan Larson

This book can only be described as beautiful. It's content, the pictures, everything is a true dedication to the work of Jonathan Larson.

The book begins as a biography to the creator of Rent, Jonathan Larson and his original vision of the play and of life itself. Reading his story was quite inspirational. If only he were alive to see his success and how he has touched many people's lives.

The remainder of the book is the whole libretto for Rentcomplete with pictures from a stage performance. The presentation of the libretto and pictures is wonderful. Honestly, I was in complete awe the first time I saw it.

There are also in-depth interviews with the cast and people behind the scenes, and some rare photos.

This book is the Rent fan's necessity. And, as I said before, could be seen as a true inspiration thanks to Jonathan Larson.

This is the greatest theater book I have encountered. This book is a must-have for any fan of Rent, or the theater, or anybody! It is filled with pictures and information documenting the creation of Rent from the start of Jonathan Larson's life until its Broadway debut.

It also includes the entire liberetto and pictures of the original Broadway cast performing. You feel like you were involved in the production of the play as you are reading it. You have the opportunity to read comments from everybody involved in the production and see from behind the scenes the long haul that Rent made from a simple idea to the best play on Broadway.
