EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Anthony Rapp On His Off-Broadway Musical and Why He Feels Lucky to Be On Star Trek: Discovery
STAR TREK: DISCOVERY’s Anthony Rapp is about to open off-Broadway in his one-man musical WITHOUT YOU.
JANUARY 18, 2023 - If you have a favorite astromycologist, I’ll bet a week’s worth of replicator rations that it’s Commander Paul Stamets of the USS Discovery. Anthony Rapp, who breathes life into the character, got his big break playing Mark Cohen in the groundbreaking musical Rent. Rapp wrote a memoir about the experience, which he then adapted as a stage musical, telling the story of his journey in Rent through the lens of two tragic deaths that occurred at the time. Now his one-man musical, Without You, is opening off-Broadway, and he joined me to talk about it.
