Summary: La Vie Boeheme!
Review: Of all all the Broadway "coffee table" books, RENT ranks first. The background on Jonathan Larson provided so much more perspective than I had ever imagined. As a teacher, I have used the RENT book in my classroom, and have had all of my classes singing and dancing to "Seasons of Love." As an adolescent of the 60's, and a young adult in the 70's, HAIR and A CHORUS LINE were the most important theatrical memories of my life. As I approached middle age over night, and just when I had been losing faith in the musical theatre of the late 20th Century, RENT came along, and provided me with not only hope, but with a renewal of my own life. The photographs are as vivid and as passionate as sitting in the Nederlander Theatre. The RENT book will be a salient addition to my library, and I will continue to celebrate "La Vie Boeheme!"
