The Jonathan Larson Project
Southwark Playhouse, The Large, SE1 6BD , [Venue Details]The Jonathan Larson Project makes its UK premiere!
An electrifying celebration of the ground breaking composer behind ‘Rent’ and ‘tick, tick… BOOM!’, it is being re-imagined for London by the original Off Broadway director John Simpkins.
The Jonathan Larson Project is a show about a young man following his heart in New York City trying to change the world. The show offers a rare and exhilarating window into Larson’s creative world, featuring previously unheard songs from the late composer’s archives. They illuminate the artistry, activism, and restless imagination of one of musical theatre’s most influential voices.
The 2026 London production holds special significance, marking 30 years since Jonathan Larson’s death in January 1996 from an aortic dissection just one day before Rent’s first performance in New York.
Jonathan Larson’s family said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring Jonathan’s lesser-known music to a British audience. His spirit is very much alive in all these songs and, although written long ago, the work remains more relevant now than ever”
A UK cast will bring Larson’s early, experimental, and never-heard work to life with bold theatricality and contemporary resonance.
