With a cast including Adam Chanler-Berat, Lauren Marcus, Taylor Iman Jones, Andy Mientus, and Jason Tam, the show celebrates Larson's bold storytelling through infectious melodies, alongside his deep-rooted passion for art, activism, and humanity. Directed by John Simpkins, The Jonathan Larson Project charts the evolution of a composer whose work reshaped modern musical theatre.
