Songs For A New World

Musician/Composer(s):
Jason Robert Brown

Lyricist(s):
Jason Robert Brown

Says the author of this gripping revue, “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.” Newcomer Jason Robert Brown (composer-lyricist of the recent critical smash “Parade”) has the whole theatre community talking about his blend of savvy showmanship and exciting contemporary sound.

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 ranging from a young man who has determined that basket-ball 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. These are the stories and characters of today, the songs for a new world.

With a small, powerhouse multi-ethnic cast and a driving, exquisitely crafted score running the gamut of today’s popular music, “Songs For A New World” is a great way to bring the next generation into the theatre. It’s a remarkable achievement from a remarkable new voice.
