Without you

Anthony Rapp had a special feeling about the rock musical Rent as early as his first audition. He won the starring role as the video artist, Mark Cohen. Rent opened to thunderous acclaim on Boradway, eventually winning a Pulitzer Prize, but as all this was happening its creator, Jonathan Larson died of an aortic aneurysm and Anthony's mom began to loose her battle with cancer. Anthony's connection with the cast and crew of Rent helped him deal with his losses.
