  • LOVE!!!
Format: Paperback
This book is AWESOME!!!! I've always prided myself in having just about the whole play memorized and I was right! There were a few gems that this helped me to clarify. I am so glad I finally bought this!

  • Amazing Libretto! A MUST-READ
Format: Paperback
I have only heard so little about Rent, so when a teacher assigned us to read the libretto I didn't know what I was getting into. The story has so many beautiful messages. And today, it's a reminder of what things were like back when the AIDs crisis broke out. This musical is a celebration of life!

  • a favorite!
Format: Paperback
i have always loved rent, have seen several different productions in several languages, and can mentally watch those productions as i read the play. (i also own a copy of the play in german, which has helped my language skills immensely, to say nothing of my german vocabulary!) it is such a sad story, and yet evokes such happiness and love that it can't really be called a sad play. i think the saddest part of it is that jonathan larsen did not live to see the first performance, the tremendous world-wide success of his work, or to accept his pulitzer. it is one of the few works that transcends any performance and any medium. ... show more

  • Glad to have the lyrics to this Broadway musical
Format: Paperback
Glad to have the lyrics to this Broadway musical. P.S. For those who may not know, there are differences between the original musical and the movie version.

  • RENT the musical
Format: Paperback
We ordered this book for our son for Christmas because he had been in a local production of RENT. We tried endlessly to find the scipt, and this was recommended. My son absolutely loves it ~ he would have it framed if he could.
