twenty-something

RENTheads in the Greater Burlington Area who interested in seeing -- and possibly meeting -- Anthony Rapp, Broadway's original Mark and star of 2005's feature film version, can do so tonight at the University of Vermont.

Rapp will speak -- and sing a bit -- tonight (January 19) at 9PM in UVM's beautiful Ira Allen Chapel. Admission is free.

Rapp's new book, Without You : A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent, was to be released this week but has been delayed. Regardless of a lack of hardcovers to sell and sign in the lobby after the show, the Broadway star-turned-author is sure to talk about the same themes as his memoir -- with plenty of Rent talk to keep fans happy.

Rapp's appearance is a highlight of UVM's two-week long "WinterBlitz" programming to welcome back its students. Last night's packed-to-capacity free showing of the film Rent was hit on campus.
