Publisher's Summary
When Rent opened to thunderous acclaim off-Broadway, Rapp knew that something truly extraordinary had taken shape. But even as people celebrated the show's success, they were also mourning the sudden death of the show's creator.
When Anthony's mom began to lose her battle with cancer, he struggled to balance his theater career with his responsibility to his family. Here, Anthony recounts both the show's huge success and his overwhelming loss. He also shares his experiences discovering his sexuality, the tension it created with his mother, and his struggle to gain her acceptance.

Easy listen
This book will mainly appeal to Rent fans. It deals with grief and can get quite sad, the style is casual and the narration is excellent. Book doesn't take much focus and is easy to listen to in short bursts.

RENTheads, you need this book.
Anthony Rapp not only gives insight to behind the scenes of the Rock Opera RENT, but to how the play merges with parts of his own life, insights and personal experiences that even this straight white spoiled only child relates to. The book reads Ike a story instead of a straight forward biography or fan fiction. If you know RENT, you need this book.

Heartbreaking and yet inspiring
Loved listening to the early days of rent, and of Anthony’s relationship with his family.
