Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent by

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

My mom made me wait until I was 13 years old to watch the Rent film after becoming totally obsessed with Idina Menzel, and I'll never forget my first viewing of it. I still can't see Mark Cohen without seeing Anthony. To me, he is Mark, and he is Rent. I was delighted to here all the BTS stories of one of my favorite musicals and surprised by how enthralled I was in the story of his life and his family. As per usual, Anthony delivers a great performance in the audiobook of his memoir, capturing the emotions (especially anger) he was going through at the time through his voice. I wish I could see his stage show of this and hope it will be filmed somewhere one day.
