Anthony Rapp is best known for originating the role of Mark Cohen Rent.
The press releases says, "Rapp shares his experience of being a part of Rent - his audition, the casting process, rehearsals and his view from the stage during the tribute performance on the night after Jonathan's [Larson] tragic death. Without You also details Anthony's achingly beautiful relationship with his mother during this turbulent time. Based on his New York Times best-selling memoir, Anthony Rapp, backed by a five-piece rock band uses a mix of original music and songs by Larson and R.E.M. in a stunning one-man show about grief, hope and triumph."
