Will Larche is a Brooklyn-based composer, lyricist, and two-time NYU dropout who finally escaped his side gig as a Google engineer to refocus on theatre. His work is an uninhibited exploration of the hearts and hungers society often ignores—including the cult-hit Lesbian Love Octagon, BAIL OUT THE MUSICAL, Bumps in the Bathroom, and Lezzie with a ‘Z’; and a playful hijacking of pop culture with We Put the Spring in Springfield: The Music of the Simpsons and “Sunday in the Heights with Dolly” (podcast). Whether he’s skewering corporate life in Gems (film) or exploring Dungeons & Dragons and puppy play in his next musical, Will’s art cheerfully vandalizes the status quo with a nod to how we got here. Will currently studies composition with Philip Lasser (Juilliard), is working on an interactive art installation with Pamela Kupper, filming a new comedy special, writing a new musical, and streaming his recurring death and resurrection via PS5 on Twitch. willlarche.com
