Though Anthony Rapp is best known as Mark Cohen, the filmmaker at the center of Jonathan Larson's musical, Rent, he will borrow a page from another character in that show, rocker Roger, on Oct. 8 and 15, when he performs with his new rock band at Fez.
Tonight, however, Rapp’s other stage credits include Precious Sons, The King and I and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
It’s a lot to talk about -- and Rapp will do just that when he guests on Seth's Rudetsky's weekly cabaret variety show at NYC's Don't Tell Mama, “Seth’s Broadway Chatterbox,” Oct. 5.
Rudetsky, a comedian and writer for Rosie O'Donnell's TV show, hosts his variety show -- the press materials call it a combination of "Mike Douglas, Dr. Seuss and Pee Wee Herman" -- every Thursday at 6 PM. There's a 2-drink minimum, but the $10 cover charge is donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
