Songs For A New World

“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 we make.

Director Luke Renwick says: “I’m thrilled to be directing Songs For A New World because it captures the exact moment life shifts and forces us to make a choice – a feeling everyone can connect to. Jason Robert Brown’s extraordinary score gives these raw, human stories so much power, and I can't wait to support a cast to bring that emotional magic to the stage.”
