The Jonathan Larson Project

When Jonathan Larson died unexpectedly at the age of 35, it was hours before his musical _RENT_ took the world by storm. Larson was hailed posthumously as the voice of a generation, winning Tony Awards® and the Pulitzer Prize, and achieving his life-long dream of changing Broadway forever… although he tragically wasn’t there to see it. In his apartment, he left behind hundreds of cassette tapes, scripts, music files, journals – boxes of his writing from shows that were never produced and projects that were never seen… until now. <br> _The Jonathan Larson Project_ brings to the stage the extraordinary unheard songs of the writer who revolutionized Broadway. This powerful new musical asks how we can make a difference in the world today, with Larson’s voice reaching through time to inspire audiences. From presidential elections to environmental activism to creating and connecting despite every obstacle, Larson’s songs speak to our present time with stunning resonance.
