The Show
It’s about one moment. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice… or take a stand… or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today.
Songs for a New World is the first musical by Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County). Like short stories told to music, this powerful song cycle uses soaring melodies to examine life, love, and the choices we make. Connecting the stories is a common theme of finding oneself at a crossroads, making a decision at a critical moment in life. The characters’ passion and struggle is something we can all relate to.
With a powerhouse cast, exceptional live band, and a driving, exquisitely crafted score that runs the gamut of today’s popular music, Songs for a New World is an enjoyable evening of powerful music. Don’t miss it.
