More information about The Jonathan Larson Project
Audiences may be familiar with Jonathan Larson’s work in Rent, a Broadway smash, or tick, tick… BOOM!, which was turned into a Netflix film starring Andrew Garfield. Now, they get a chance to hear cut songs from his hit musicals and tunes from lesser-known ones. That was key to Jennifer Ashley Tepper, who conceived the show.
“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.”
Now, those undiscovered songs come to life — casting will be announced soon.
What to watch for
- Discussing Jonathan Larson's legacy, the musical's conceiver Jennifer Ashley Tepper said, “Jonathan's lost songs are political, personal, surprising, galvanizing, relevant, and tell a fascinating new story about a young man following his heart in New York City, trying to change the world."
- Larson's experience creating new musicals is documented in the Netflix film version of his show tick, tick... BOOM!, which showed developmental work at Playwrights Horizons off Broadway.
- Larson is known for his rock scores featuring dynamic characters and clever, edgy, and funny lyrics. Well-known songs include "Seasons of Love," "Louder Than Words," and "Take Me or Leave Me."
- While the cast has yet to be announced, the creative team has been: the musical will feature music supervision and orchestrations by two-time Tony Award-winner Charlie Rosen and co-arrangements by Rosen and Natalie Tenenbaum, choreography by Byron Easley, and music direction by Cynthia Meng.
