“A new world crashes down like thunder. A new world charging through the air.”
Songs for a New World follows the journey of four individuals who are all faced with a variety of obstacles in their lives, but all relate to having to make the choice of running to it or from it. Jason Robert Brown’s first musical, tells the story of hope for a better tomorrow and a new look at life at the turn of a profound moment.
