help The Jonathan Larson Project FAQ
Are the songs in The Jonathan Larson Project taken from Rent and tick, tick... BOOM!?
No. The revue focuses on previously unpublished or rarely heard Larson material found in his archive rather than simply repeating songs from Rent or tick, tick... BOOM! Its selections include songs written for unproduced shows, cabarets, and other projects.
Who created The Jonathan Larson Project?
The revue was conceived by theatre historian and producer Jennifer Ashley Tepper after researching Larson's archive at the Library of Congress. Its 2025 Off-Broadway production was directed by John Simpkins.
Where did The Jonathan Larson Project play Off-Broadway?
The 2025 production played at the Orpheum Theatre in New York City. That venue is also strongly associated with the original Off-Broadway run of Stomp.
What does the revue reveal about Jonathan Larson beyond Rent?
It shows Larson writing about New York life, politics, relationships, ambition, and artistic survival across projects that never received full productions. The archival songs broaden the picture of a composer who died in 1996, just before Rent's first public performance.
