In an article written in 2012 for Globe and Mail, Kelly Nestruck explains how Rent helped Anthony Rapp deal with the death of his mother. As illustrated in the Article, Rapp had written a book called Without You and turned it into a one-man musical where he not only describes being apart of the hit musical but also how it affected his life and helped Rapp during a difficult time in his life.
Nestruck explains how the book shows how Mark and Rapp are similar, but more importantly, how they are different. She describes how Rapp would leave his role with his understudy whenever needed because, unlike Mark, Anthony loved his mother and would rush to her bedside when she needed him most.
She says at the end of the article, quote, “...even I, a Rent skeptic, was left moved by Without You and with a greater appreciation for Larson and his musical message of living for the now.”
From this Article, it shows me how even someone who isn’t a big fan of the musical, can appreciate the impact it has had on the actors, especially Anthony Rapp.
