SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD
August 25-27, 2006
YouthREP presented Jason Robert Brown's stirring musical revue as
its inaugural production in Summer 2006.
Says the author of this gripping revue, “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.” Newcomer Jason Robert Brown
(composer-lyricist of the recent critical smash “Parade”) has the
whole theatre community talking about his blend of savvy
showmanship and exciting contemporary sound.
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 ranging from a young man who has
determined that basket-ball 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. These are the stories and
characters of today, the songs for a new world.
