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, the Songs for a New World. 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.
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.
With a small, powerhouse multi-ethnic cast and a driving, exquisitely crafted
score that runs the gamut of today's popular music, Songs for a New World
is a great way to bring the next generation into the theatre.
Tickets are $10-$20 plus fees
