This book was the best resouce on RENT I've ever seen. I really felt like I was a part of it and I understand Jonathan's reasons for writing RENT so much more than I ever did before. It is AMAZING!

If you are a Rent head this is the book for you. It is great with behind the scenes tales of the movie and how Rent came about.
 No musical score :( August 7, 2006

I love Rent, and this is a wonderful book if you love Rent. BUT I was also looking for the score (sheet music). All this has is the libretto (words only). I can only find songbooks that have highlights, not all the songs. Disappointing.
 The RENThead Bible May 5, 2006
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book is the perfect book for fans of the show and the perfect coffee table book... I simply love reading it and looking at the pictures. The book features information on how the show came about, it's sucess, and the life of Jonathon Larson(it's creator) struggle to have his show made on Broadway. Larson tragically died before opening night due to an undiagnosed heart condition. Truly it's a shame he did not live to see the dream of his creation realized.
In the book the orginal cast members talk a little bit about Larson and the musical's affect on them. The most interesting part of the story is reading about the orginal cast's sucess... all of the orginal cast sucess has become EXTREMELY sucessful. The musical being their break to stardom. The actors & actresses talk about the affect the musical has on their everyday lives.
The musical features little known facts about the show, the cast, and insight onto what made the musical one of the longest running musicals in history.
The book is truly the RentHead bible and perfect for the fan of musicals...
