Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent by Anthony Rapp

3.0

While performing in RENT this past September a fellow castmember was reading Without You by Anthony Rapp. I figured… “What the hell, I should read it”. I have to say it was somewhat of a laborious process, as the book is very sad. It is a memoir that deals with Anthony’s relationship with his mother and her battle with Cancer. It also deals with Anthony’s various relationships and his involvement in RENT. He also remarks on his friendship with Jonathan Larson, and Larson’s untimely passing. Did I like the book? Yes, but it may be because of my involvement in RENT. I would recommend it to others, but I would have them become familiar with RENT first if they aren’t already familiar with it.
