World Premiere Set For New Jonathan Larson Musical Featuring Unearthed Songs And Music Cut From ‘Rent’ And ‘tick, tick… Boom!’

Exclusive: The Jonathan Larson Project, a new musical featuring more than 20 songs that have never been part of a fully staged production – including material cut from Rent and tick, tick… Boom! – will make its Off Broadway world premiere in February, producers announced today.
The Jonathan Larson Project will begin a 16-week limited engagement with previews starting Friday, February 14, at the Orpheum Theatre in Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood. The official opening night is Monday, March 10.
Casting will be announced at a later date.

The trove of songs includes work from unproduced shows including 1984 and Superbia, songs that were cut from Rent and tick, tick… Boom!, songs written for theatrical revues and for the radio, and even songs never publicly performed or recorded before The Jonathan Larson Project.
