The Jonathan Larson Project will begin previews in February with an opening night set for March 10 at the Orpheum Theatre, and casting will be announced soon.
Jennifer Ashley Tepper, known for her producing work, co-conceived this musical that celebrates Larson’s once-in-a-generation talent. Directed by John Simpkins, The Jonathan Larson Project in New York brings together dozens of Larson songs that will be new to many audiences: the tunes come from unfinished and unproduced musicals plus pop songs found in files and boxes after the visionary writer died in 1996.
“Jonathan Larson dreamed of revolutionizing musical theatre. Tragically, he wasn't around to see his wildest dreams come true, since he passed away unexpectedly at the age of 35, right before Rent hit,” Tepper said in a statement. “Over a decade ago, I began immersing myself in the hundreds of boxes that Jonathan Larson left behind when he died. The hours of cassette tapes of undiscovered songs, piles of scripts that had never been produced, and many personal letters, photos, journals, and more were endlessly inspiring.”
The project has had a life before: it was originally presented as a concert at 54 Below in 2018 and was released as an album from Ghostlight Records in 2019. Now, audiences can hear Larson anew off Broadway starting this winter.
1hr 30min. No intermission.
