I knew him from “Girls” and in passing, but hearing about his moving from Omaha to New York, to eventually make it to Broadway, made me realize how much he’s done. He’s likable and down to earth, and I loved the humor in all of his stories. I kept googling him in all of his projects and just want to see more now.

i love him. he's just like me fr.

There is always an exit. I wish I'd known that then.

4/5

I'n not usually big on memoirs, but I decided to give this one a try because I got introduced to the beauty that is broadway musicals in 2018 and consequently also got introduced to the powerhouse that is Andrew Rannells.

Overall, I loved this book. It's filled with stories that spoke to me on a personal level, especially as a queer person, although I'm nowhere near New York City or a broadway career. I actually enjoyed reading about his life before his big break. While stories of his time in Book of Mormon or even Falsettos would have been interesting, the way of getting there is usually more interesting than the actual result.

i haven’t been this sad to finish a book in a long time. i love andrew so so so so much, and i love the way he talks about falling in love with performing. all the descriptions of what it’s like to be a performer and about the love he clearly has for theatre were so beautiful, it was as if he’d put all the feelings i’ve had over the last five years into words. as an aspiring performer, this book is everything to me. yeah, i just have so much love for him🫶🫶🫶

also if you’re wondering, there’s like 90 omaha/nebraska mentions total.
