"Beautifully written..."YWithout You?" shows that a life story truthfully told can be stranger (as well as more touching) than fiction." -- William Georgiades, "New York Post", "Without You deserves accolades purely for its author's courage and candor. I expected to be moved, but I didn't count on being completely swept up in the emotion that carries this story so eloquently and poignantly to its end. Rapp may be an actor, but his ability to lay himself bare is the great talent on display here." -- Camryn Manheim, Emmy Award-winning costar of The Practice and author of Wake Up, I'm Fat!, "No roar-of-the-crowd, smell-of-the-greasepaint scrapbook; it's a sprawling, tear-streaked life story and unabashedly sentimental ode to his mother...[Rapp's] voice is unpretentious and unfailingly honest." -- Melissa Rose Bernardo, Entertainment Weekly, "There's a moment in Rent when Roger damns his best friend, the character played by Anthony Rapp, by exclaiming, 'Mark hides in his work!' Here, Anthony hides nothing. In his account of Rent's backstory and the pain of losing friends and family, Anthony shares incidents and feelings most of us would hesitate to reveal to anyone. As the father of Rent's creator, I think Without You is a marvelous testament to the power of the show. As an audience member, I think it's a wonderful read and, even more impressive, a terrifically honest one." -- Al Larson, aka "Poppa" or "Pop", "A memoir roiling with personal revelation and uncensored emotion." -- Christine Dolen, The Miami Herald, "No roar-of-the-crowd, smell-of-the-greasepaint scrapbook; it's a sprawling, tear-streaked life story and unabashedly sentimental ode to his mother...[Rapp's] voice is unpretentious and unfailingly honest."-- Melissa Rose Bernardo,Entertainment Weekly, "The tragic, compelling back story to "Rent" extends the book's appeal far beyond the show's fans." -- Web Behrens, "Chicago Tribune", "Anthony Rapp has written a courageous, brutally honest memoir that breaks new ground in writing about the constantly changing arena of the American family experience. The beauty of Rapp's writing lies in his ability to touch the reader with such intense emotional power. His insights into the theatre world are equally perceptive and fresh." -- Chris Columbus, director of the film adaptation of Rent, "Beautifully written...[Without You]shows that a life story truthfully told can be stranger (as well as more touching) than fiction." -- William Georgiades,New York Post, "The tragic, compelling back story toRentextends the book's appeal far beyond the show's fans."-- Web Behrens,Chicago Tribune, "There's a moment in "Rent when Roger damns his best friend, the character played by Anthony Rapp, by exclaiming, 'Mark hides in his work!'
