Have you ever imagined of being in a Broadway show? In the book, Without you by Anthony Rapp, Anthony Rapp has. Anthony lives in New York City. Anthony has had experience in movies and other small Broadway shows including school productions. Anthony decides to audition for the musical Rent by Jonathan Larson. He ends up getting the part of Mark, one of the main characters in Rent. When trying to balance rehearsals of Rent and his mother sickness, when dealing with his sexuality and what his family thinks about it and relationships with his boyfriend, he tries he tries to deal with the death of Jonathan and creating friendship with the other cast members of Rent. This book is a non-fiction. I would definitely these book 5 stars.
You probably would want to see rent the movie or the Broadway show to understand it more. I rated this book a 5 because I am such a rent head that I couldn't stop reading it and I could defiantly relate to what he was going through in his relationships and family. You could tell that Anthony loved living his life in every page that he wrote about himself. I would recommend this book to someone who is a rent head and loves Rent the musical. Also to someone who loves to read about life stories and what people go through because you can connect your life to others.

Summary of Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent
Anthony Rapp had a special feeling about Jonathan Larson's rock musical Rent as early as his first audition, which won him a starring role as the video artist Mark Cohen. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Rent opened to thunderous acclaim off-Broadway -- but even as friends and family were celebrating the show's first success, they were also mourning Jonathan Larson's sudden death from an aortic aneurysm. And when Anthony's mom began to lose her battle with cancer, Anthony found himself struggling to balance his life in the theater with his responsibility to his family.In Without You, Anthony tells of his exhilarating journey with the cast and crew of Rent as well as the intimacies of his personal life behind the curtain. Marked by fledgling love and devastating loss, Without You is an exceptional memoir of the world of theater, the love of a son for his mother, and maturity won far too early.
