Prior to the pandemic, Lauren Yee was named by American Theatre as the second-most produced playwright of that upcoming season. Her profile has only grown since: she is the acclaimed writer of *The Great Leap* and *Cambodian Rock Band*, and she has won many accolades, including the Doris Duke Artists Award, Whiting Award, Steinberg/ATCA Award, American Academy of Arts and Letters Literature Award, Horton Foote Prize, and Kesselring Prize. 

Now, she brings audiences her newest work, a dark comedy about surveillance, freedom... and French fries. Tracking the rise of capitalism and McDonald's, this play is a thriller, a rom com, a satire, and a dark comedy all rolled into one. As the spy and the woman he's watching have their lives riotously intertwine, the spy finds himself falling in love and losing his bearings, all while grappling with the taste of freedom, and fast food. Yee is a writer to watch, and her new play is not one to miss.

## What to watch for
- Lauren Yee has many TV credits: ”Pachinko”  (Apple), “Interior Chinatown” (Hulu), and “Billions” (Showtime).
- Yee, with Heather Christian, is writing the new musical adaptation of *A Wrinkle in Time*.
- The New York Times wrote that Yee is ”a playwright of great heart and audacity to match."
- The director for this winter play is still to be announced.

Mother Russia - NYC - Todaytix

*Mother Russia* is a sharp, dark comedy about a St. Petersburg spy who falls in love with the woman he is meant to track: an edgy artist with a mysterious past.

See the newest comedy from Lauren Yee. The second work in her Signature residency, Yee's *Mother Russia* plays for a limited run this winter at the Pershing Square Signature Center. Yee is ”a playwright of great heart and audacity to match” (The New York Times) and made a name for herself with the 2020 New York premiere of *Cambodian Rock Band*. Now, she has a new comedy: the sly and transfixing *Mother Russia*.

See *Mother Russia* off Broadway, in which Yee uses humor to explore the aftermath of tyranny. Set in St. Petersburg in 1992, *Mother Russia* follows two men — and the former dissident musician they’re surveilling — adjusting to the new regime of capitalism: its liberties, its riches of supermarket options, and gratifying fast food. Yes, McDonald's plays a role in this comedy about capitalism's ability to commodify pretty much anything.

Evgeny, a young man at a loss, stumbles into a job working surveillance with his friend Dmitri. Their target: Katya, a former pop singer with questionable allegiances and a mysterious past. Learning more about Katya, Evgeny soon falls in love, leaving all grappling with the taste of freedom — and a hunger for fast food — in this New York premiere and razor-sharp dark comedy.

Prior to the pandemic, Yee was named by American Theatre as the second-most produced playwright of that upcoming season. Heather Christian, with *[Oratorio for Living Things](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/24927-oratorio-for-living-things)*, is also a part of Signature's new season, and together Christian and Lee are writing the musical adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's *A Wrinkle in Time*. Yee is the winner of a Doris Duke Artists Award, Whiting Award, American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, Horton Foote Prize, and Kesselring Prize.

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.

A new musical, *The Jonathan Larson Project* celebrates unheard songs by the Tony Award-winning composer, weaving them together into a thrilling new story.

Get *The Jonathan Larson Project* tickets on New York Theatre Guide and see a new production featuring seldom heard songs from the famed composer of *Rent* and *tick, tick… BOOM!*. In the musical *The Jonathan Larson Project*, audiences can expect to hear Larson’s soaring anthems, witty lyrics, and rock sensibility via songs previously unheard strung together into a new story.

Experience *The Jonathan Larson Project* off Broadway and hear songs from *1984* and *Superbia*, lesser-known Larson projects, alongside cut songs from his beloved hits *Rent* and *tick, tick… BOOM!*.

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.
