Ghostlight Records will release the Jonathan Larson Project album in physical, digital, and streaming formats on Friday, April 5. Customers who preorder the digital album will immediately receive a download of the first single, "Greene Street."

The album features the entire cast of the concert's October 2018 engagement at Feinstein's/54 Below: Nick Blaemire, Lauren Marcus, Andy Mientus, Krysta Rodriguez, and George Salazar. Rosen provides music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements, with a band made up of musical director Natalie Tenenbaum, Rosen, Cody Owen Stine, Megan Talay, and Marques Walls.

Conceived and directed by Jennifer Ashley Tepper, The Jonathan Larson Project features cut songs from Larson's well-known works like Rent and tick, tick… BOOM!, tunes written for theatrical revues, and music written for the radio, some of which have never before been publicly performed or recorded.
