ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on Anthony Rapp’s New York Times bestselling memoir, "WITHOUT YOU" previously played over 100 performances at Off-Broadway’s New World Stages, where it received praise from audiences and critics alike.
This autobiographical musical is a story of love, loss, and the phenomenon that is "RENT" – told by the man who was there from the start.
"WITHOUT YOU" recently finished a six-month run Off Broadway at New World Stages where The New York Times raved “you would have to be made of stone to NOT be moved” and The Wall Street Journal called it “nostalgic, gripping, and moving.”
In 1994, Rapp was 22, out of money and working at a Starbucks, about to audition for a new musical by a young writer named Johnathan Larson.
That musical was the global phenomenon "RENT."
This is where the story of "WITHOUT YOU" begins.
Based on The New York Times bestseller of the same name and backed by a 5-piece rock band, Rapp shares his unimaginable real-life story of the early years of "RENT" in this intimate evening of unsurpassed joy and unspeakable loss.
“I’m thrilled to return to Boston – where the earliest incarnations of this show were honed – to share this personal and emotional story.” says Rapp. "'WITHOUT YOU' honors the life and legacy of two greats: Jonathan Larson and my mother. This show and its message changed my life, and I hope Boston audiences will leave 'WITHOUT YOU' with a new sense of hope and joy.”
"WITHOUT YOU" is written and performed by Rapp and directed by Steven Maler (artistic director of Boston’s Commonwealth Shakespeare Company) with musical direction by Daniel A. Weiss.
The production will feature the music of Jonathan Larson's "RENT" along with original songs and compositions by Anthony Rapp, David Matos, and Joe Pisapia; orchestration, original compositions, and musical direction by Daniel A. Weiss, with additional arrangements by Tom Kitt.
The creative team includes: Eric Southern (Lighting and Scene Design), Angela Vesco (Costume Design), Elisabeth Weidner (Sound Design), and David Bengali (Projection Design).
Lisa Dozier Shacket is the producer, produced in association with Royal Family Productions.
"WITHOUT YOU" will run for two weeks only from April 2-14, 2024 at the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA in Boston’s South End (located at 527 Tremont Street) for a total of 16 performances.
The show runs 90 minutes without an intermission.
