Advance Praise for Making Rent " Rent fans old and new will revel in this colorful peek behind the curtain." -- Publishers Weekly "Tim has truly given any fan of Rent, and any fan or student of contemporary musical theater generally, an invaluable record of a new musical's developmental process. And he's given us a detailed and beautifully frank account of the musical director's role in preparing and maintaining a Broadway show. Like Tim's invaluable contribution to Rent's success, this book is an extraordinary achievement." --Michael Greif, Tony Award-nominated director of Rent and Hell's Kitchen "I loved this book. Tim takes us down a path that is reserved for the very few, not only to the front row, backstage, the rehearsal room, or behind the piano--this is an unflinching look at all of it, the joys and the loss of creating a history-making show." --Jeanine Tesori, Tony Award-winning composer of Fun Home and Kimberly Akimbo "Tim writes with a laser-sharp memory--the specific details, but also the more ineffable experience, the moods, the feelings, the conflicts, the fears of those who were a part of Rent." --Jim Nicola, former artistic director of the New York Theatre Workshop "Making Rent is essential to anybody who cares about new musicals.

" --Jeffrey Seller, Tony Award-winning producer of Rent and Hamilton , author of Theater Kid Praise for Tim Weil " Rent could never have become what it was without the tireless efforts and creativity of our musical director, Tim Weil." --Adam Pascal, Tony Award-nominated actor, Rent , Aida , and Something Rotten! "Tim Weil was THE PULSE of each performance! We always had a powerful pulse, and that was definitely because of Tim." --Daphne Rubin-Vega, Tony Award-nominated actor, Rent and Anna in the Tropics.
