In Rachel Bloom’s new book, “I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are,” she shares a brutally honest and hilarious account of her journey from awkward theater kid to star of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.” Bloom takes Anthony Mason back to her former middle school, where she faced bullies but also found her love for musical theater. The award-winning actor, singer and writer discusses living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, having a baby during the pandemic, and losing her collaborator Adam Schlesinger to COVID-19.
