Lauded composer Jason Robert Brown (composer-lyricist of the
critical hits The Last Five Years and Parade) has had the world talking
about Songs for a New World ever since its exciting premier. Says the
author of his gripping revue, “It’s about one moment. It’s about hitting
the wall and having to make a choice, take a stand, or turn around
and go back.”
With a small, powerhouse cast and a driving, exquisitely
crafted score running the gamut of today’s popular music, Songs For
A New World is a great example of the next generation of musical
theatre. It’s a remarkable achievement from a remarkable voice.
