THE JONATHAN LARSON PROJECT

Thomas Hopkins, SAMS Entertainment & Julie Larson proudly present THE JONATHAN LARSON PROJECT

Following a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway run, The Jonathan Larson Project will make its highly anticipated UK premiere at Southwark Playhouse Borough.

An electrifying celebration of the ground breaking composer behind Rent and tick, tick… BOOM!, it is being reimagined 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.

A UK cast will bring Larson’s early, experimental, and never-heard work to life with bold theatricality and contemporary resonance.

The Jonathan Larson Project recently captivated critics and audiences alike, leading to a 16-week Off Broadway season at the Orpheum Theatre.
