Jonathan Larson concert to play the Lyric Theatre

It has been announced that the life and music of legendary Broadway composer Jonathan Larson will be celebrated in a special one-off concert.

Entitled Seasons of Larson, the concert will play the West End's Lyric Theatre on Monday 25th January 2016.

On the day of the first preview of RENT off-Broadway on 25th January 1996, the musical's composer Jonathan Larson died unexpectedly at the age of 35. Tragically he would never live to see the impact his work would have, not only on the face of musical theatre but also on a generation of young artists and performers. Nor would he get to hold the numerous awards he posthumously received.
