The Lucille Lortel Theatre has announced the four new musicals that will receive support through the 121 Project, the Lortel's tailored development program for new musical works. 

The 2025 recipients are Built for This, with a book by Lauren Gunderson and music and lyrics by Kira Stone; King of Harlem, with a book, music, and lyrics by David Gomez and John-Michael Lyles; Legendary with a book, music, and lyrics by Cheeyang Ng; and Lighthouse, with a book and lyrics by abs wilson and music and lyrics by Veronica Mansour.

The 121 Project is a program of the Lortel's Music Theatre Lab, which fosters the creation, development, and presentation of new musicals. The program provides up to $10,000 of tailored support for the specific needs of each project. 

“The panel and I were delightfully overwhelmed with the volume and quality of submissions that we received," Michael Heitzman, the Lortel's Artistic Director of New Musical Development, said in a statement. "They also cemented our belief that the creative process can vary widely, and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to support. We are thrilled to be helping these four projects advance to their next stage of development and hope that the support of the Lucille Lortel Theatre can be transformational.”
