Book Reviews of Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent
Book Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first bought this book, which was a couple months after it came out, I thought it would be another behind the scenes look at RENT. And while at some moments it is, it has another aspect that keeps you reading: his struggle with his mom's illness. This part of the book changed my life. Honestly, it gave me a new outlook on life. I have a better relationship with my mom for it. It makes everyday I spend with my mother, ten times better.
Anthony is an amazing writer, and he hides nothing in this autobiography.
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.
