Jason Huza
Book
Born a century too late, Jason Huza is one the last known Wildean-style aestheticists. His works vary from madcap novels to puckish musicals; metered plays to raucous biographies. Hardly content to pen the same thing twice, Jason jumps genres and topics in constant pursuit of timelessness while simultaneously outrunning the zeitgeist like it was a horror-movie villain, chainsaw in hand.
Jason was fortunate enough to find his tribe early after arriving in New York. Josh Walden, fresh from associate directing Broadway’s Ragtime revival, was Jason’s first collaborator on a series of widely acclaimed industry readings. These promptly led to working with Broadway’s Jeremiah James and Jill Santoriello on It Happened in Key West (Book and Additional Lyrics) which received its world premier at the West End’s Charing Cross Theatre in 2018 starring Broadway's Wade McCollum. Unfortunately, Jason was robbed at knife-point on opening night, so in retribution against the UK, Jason worked with brilliant composer, John Allen Watts, on The Crossing (Book and Lyrics), a musical recounting Washington’s legendary feat on the Delaware through the eyes of the layperson. The Crossing was most recently seen in concert hosted by the Princeton Battlefield Society and directed by the sensational Misti Wills. The Last Match (Book and Lyrics) came next, an immersive musical, composed by rock goddess, Sylvana Joyce, set in the world of professional wrestling. The developmental series starred Broadway’s Ramin Karimloo and WWE superstar Matt Cardona and led to a complete sweep of the New Jersey BroadwayWorld Awards in 2022. Most recently, It Happened in Key West was part of The Fulton Theatre’s 23/24 season, directed by the wondrous Rebecca Martinez and starring Broadway’s Shereen Pimentel and The Last Match, masterfully directed by Jeremiah James and starring eleven-time WWE Women’s World Champion, Mickie James, embarked on a nine-city tour - both shows earned uproarious standing ovations after each performance. In between all that, Jason has collaborated again with Jeremiah James and Broadway’s Sujin Kim-Ramsey on a new musical, Beatrice, is co-authoring a biography of longtime Howard Stern intern, Steve Grillo, and writing alongside documentarian, Joseph Sky, a feature film based on the exploits of America’s own unsung Robin Hood, Henry Berry Lowrie. Jason has written many more things he is equally proud of you can read about here. He lives with his brilliantly adorable wife and three rizz-laden sons in Manhattan.
