'The Jonathan Larson Project' Album Trailer

Scheduled for release on Friday, June 14, the CD package is a limited edition, collectible 40-page hardbound book containing previously unreleased artist archival materials, including photos and images of original lyric and music sheets, scripts, notebook pages, and much more. Also included are song lyrics, song annotations, and production and recording studio photos, along with liner notes from director Jennifer Ashley Tepper, who conceived the project, and Jonathan Larson Grant-winning writer Joe Iconis.

The Jonathan Larson Project features the music of the late Jonathan Larson, the generation-defining writer of Rent and tick, tick… BOOM!, the former an iconic Broadway landmark and the latter a beloved musical gem. The Jonathan Larson Project is an evening of Jonathan’s unheard work featuring songs from never-produced shows like 1984 and Superbia; songs that were cut from Rent and tick, tick… BOOM!; songs written for both theatrical revues and for the radio; songs about politics, love and New York City; including many never before publicly performed or recorded.

The cast features some of this generation’s greatest musical theater talent, including Nick Blaemire (tick, tick…BOOM!, Found, Godspell), Lauren Marcus (Be More Chill, Beatsville, Company), Andy Mientus (NBC’s “Smash,” Spring Awakening, Les Misérables), Krysta Rodriguez (Spring Awakening, First Date, The Addams Family), and George Salazar (Be More Chill, The Lightning Thief, tick, tick… BOOM!).

The Jonathan Larson Project is based on a concert originally presented at Feinstein’s/54 Below, directed and conceived by Jennifer Ashley Tepper (Be More Chill), and featuring music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Charlie Rosen (Be More Chill, Prince of Broadway, Honeymoon in Vegas, Charlie Rosen’s Broadway Big Band). The five-piece band includes musical director Natalie Tenenbaum, Charlie Rosen, Cody Owen Stine, Megan Talay, and Marques Walls, with Danielle Gimbal as copyist. The album is produced by Jennifer Ashley Tepper, Charlie Rosen, and Kurt Deutsch.

honestly I never really knew who Johnathon Larson was until I heard about this.
i had only really watched RENT as a quick film before bed one night.
i only found out about this after being a fan of George, and I’m so grateful that you guys are able to carry on his legacy.
you’ll do great!

All of Jonathan Larson's music & Shows need to get out there. He was an artist that was before his time. Suburbia would be AMAZING right now along with Tick Tick Boom. Who knows what else that man, that genius was working on before he sadly left this earth. Could you imagine what else he would have come up with if he would have not passed away? Good god.

22 years ago just hours before his passion project rent was about to premiere with it’s first show he collapsed on the floor of his apartment and rent went on to have a 12 year broadway run and a movie

[Helloitsminnie]

[broepic]

0:31 well I'm twelve and I am dying. I've watched this like 20 times

[isidora]

I feel like most of the people are here for the people in be more chill but I just like how Jonathan is getting more recognition since rent live did what they could and the cast was great it wasn’t there fault but I think the network should have handled it better

[darcylentz]

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this because what he did to Sarah Schulman.

[isidora]

Are they gonna include his girl friend who was actually gay and cheating on him with a girl

This is Jonathan Larson's estate cashing in. Nothing more.
