Winner:Pulitzer Prize -Drama/Theater (1996)

In these pages, Rent offers what most theater books can't: a chance to step behind the curtain and feel the electricity of a stage phenomenon as it unfolds. Rent captures the heart and spirit of a generation, reflecting it onstage through the emotion of its stirring words and music, and the energy of its young cast. Now, for the first time, Rent comes to life on the page - through vivid color photographs, the full libretto, and a behind-the-scenes oral history of the show's creation.

I saw Rent in 1997 on Broadway and was so taken with Jonathan Larson and his entire journey. Watching it told through his music and @Lin_Manuel ‘s storytelling on @ticktickboom brought me right back. What a sublime movie. Thank you.
