Songs For A New World

Musical Direction by Tony Bellomy

Songs for a New World is the first produced show by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County). Representing a broad range of musical genres including pop, gospel and jazz, the songs are linked by a common theme that Brown says is about “the moment of decision. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back.” Although set in a variety of times and places, the show poignantly expresses the hopes and challenges of our present reality.

Presented by special arrangement Music Theatre International.
