ABOUT THE SHOW
Songs For A New World is the first musical from Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County). This moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices that we make. The show lies between musical and song cycle, but it is neither; it is an abstract musical, a series of songs all connected by a theme: 'the moment of decision.'
Composer Brown has said 'It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to choose, take a stand, or turn around and go back.” Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge, 57 stories above Fifth Avenue, to meet a startling array of characters that range from a young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams... and a soulless marriage.
