I had kept in sporadic touch with Jonathan over that year, periodically checking in on the progress of the show ping to pay for the New York Theatre Workshop production and were eager to move the show to a commercial off-Broadway run if it was a hit. They’re young and hip and they believe in the show. They’re looking at this cool space, Jonathan said, his voice full of its usual gleeful energy. They’re talking about converting an old club, to try to make it site-specific.

I found the title and cover to be misleading because I took it that the book would entirely cover the debut of the musical, Rent, and the death of its writer / composer, Jonathan Larson. Although this was disappointing, Anthony continued to compel me to read about his life journey and the struggles that he dealt with.

Spoiler: the title is much more of a reference to the loss of his mom. I still would have been interested and read the book without Rent fan info.

in waiting

I am a huge Rent Head (Slept out in the streets of NY 3 times in order to get $20 front row tickets to the show.) I had the honor of seeing the original cast perform three times and followed the story of Jonathan Larson very carefully.
This book though is not all about his time in Rent but rather how he was dealing with the loss of his mother and other trials in his life (such as finding the right one)
It's a honest look into his life during a crucial period. It's def not a full autobiography and it only touches briefly on his childhood and earlier roles (Adventures in Baby Sitting,) It focuses mainly on his life during this period.

Just a really great read overall. I was drawn to the book for the Rent stories and they were great. I quickly became wrapped up in Anthony's story. He has a relaxed, honest voice and the whole book is just very touching. I would love to read a sequel; whether it is about theater or another aspect of his life. He has a very unique perspective having been in the original Rent workshop and having lived in NYC in the 90s. His descriptions of West Village and Times Square are extra poignant to me seeing how the city had changed so much.

Anthony Rapp was in on the creation of the masterpiece which became the Broadway sensation "Rent," almost from the beginning. He has written his memoir of that experience with great sensitivity and insight.

This book is a riveting tale about the creative process, how a play goes through its evolution to get to Broadway, and how every once in awhile a theatrical miracle can happen which changes everyone's lives. "Rent" is such a miracle. I just saw the play once again on Broadway this past weekend. I took my teenaged daughters to see it. After eleven years, it is finally closing down some time this year. If you cannot get to New York to see the play, rent the movie. It's not as good, but almost.

I loved this book, and recommend it to anyone who has ever overcome adversity to pursue a dream.

I initially started to read this memoir because I wanted to get inside of the head of the beloved "Mark" from RENT. But I got so much more from this incredible life story. The memoir starts of with his RENT audition so it immediately grasps any fans attention and keeps you flipping the pages, but the memoir tells about so much more than just RENT. You learn that Anthony actually had a really hard life. You also learn just how strong of a person he is for being able to deal with. His relationship with his family was always a bit strained, and him moving to New York to pursue an acting career only increased the tension. You really get a feel for just how hard the life of a struggling actor is. He tells about the days where he would wait tables all day waiting for that one call to come in to see if he got the part, or how he hated not being able to fly out as often and be there for his cancer diagnosed mother because he just couldn't afford it. You also develop a really good feel for the many different relationships that he has/had in is life. From his family members, to friends, to past lovers, he does a really great job of SHOWING you the types of relationships he had with people, and not just flat out telling you. I liked that because at times, it felt like you were actually living through him. I love how even though he had an extremely hard and depressing life, the one thing that always brought a bit of joy to it was acting. You always got a sense of true happiness and content whenever he would describe his time with any particular show that he was involved in. That's another thing I love about this memoir, Anthony really goes into detail when he describes his time with the many shows that he was in. He gave a true "insiders scoop" as to what really goes on behind the curtain, the good, and the bad. He didn't censor anything in this memoir, everything is raw and real, which is one of the reasons why I enjoyed it so much. There was no fluff. Overall, this memoir was extremely enjoyable. I feel that I have a better understanding for the extremely talented Anthony Rapp. This memoir made me feel certain things that I have never felt while reading a book before. I would definitely recommend it, not just for fans of the theater, but for anyone.

Anthony goes into great deal of hit career from the beginning but spends a lot of time discussing the development of Rent and working with Jonathon Larson from his perspective.

elegant stranger

You don't have to be a Renthead to delve into this memoir. It's a heartbreakingly beautiful story. Right about the time Anthony was selected to star in the off-broadway workshop production of RENT his mother was diagnosed with cancer. While "RENT" becomes an hit, Anthony's mother gets better, Jonathan Larson (RENT playwright and composer) dies unexpectedly on the eve of the off-Broadway debut of the show, and then his mother gets sick again. Between dealing with all of the trappings of becoming a broadway star, flying home to take care of his mother, and dealing with family he's trying to come to terms with his mother regarding his sexuality. It's an emotional wrenching, cathartic, bitter-sweet love story and also a testement to family and life. It's been a long time since I laughed *and* cried while reading a book! It also made me realize how much I miss my father.

I highly recommend it.
