Hi all! I'm working on a research paper about Jonathan Larson and I can't seem to find any information about his CHILDHOOD, only his later years through death on all the sites and databases I've been on.
I know this should probably be on the student board, but I figured I'd get more responses here.
Thanks a bunch!

The best place for his childhood info (and just info in general) is the second disc of the Rent movie. It has a reeeeally long documentary called "No Day But Today" which is arguably the most comprehensive version of Jonathan's story.
The Rent Bible is good too, but moreso for an over-all picture of how the show was produced than for Jonathan's own story.
