The Jonathan Larson Project Tickets

Commemorating 30 years since the death of Jonathan Larson, this powerful new production celebrates the life and legacy of the brilliant artistic mind behind RENT and tick.. tick… BOOM! Follow Larson as a young man in New York City, following his heart and 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. It celebrates his artistry, activism, and restless imagination. Jonathan Larson was the composer behind one of the most beloved musicals of all time, RENT, and one of musical theatre’s most influential voices. Tragically, he died of an aortic dissection one day before RENT’s first performance in New York.

Following a critically acclaimed off-Broadway run, The Jonathan Larson Project is being reimagined by its original director, John Simpkins, for its London premiere at the Southwark Playhouse Borough. This bold, stirring, and powerful new show stars Max Harwood (the breakout star as Jamie New in the film Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Imelda Warren-Green (Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder), Michael Mather (currently playing Fiyero on the international tour of Wicked), Natalie Kassanga (Satine in Moulin Rouge! The Musical) and Marcus Collins (original West End cast of Kinky Boots). It’s an intimate portrait of an artist who was ahead of his time, honouring his extraordinary work through his early, experimental, and never-heard work, brought to life with bold theatricality and contemporary resonance. Fans of Larson’s work will delight at this rare insight into his life and career, while newcomers will have a chance to fall in love with his music for the first time.

Book now for a never before seen and exhilarating exploration of the man behind some of the most recognisable music in theatre.
