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 to turn around and go back.” Those are the words from renowned composer Jason Robert Brown about his first produced musical. Jason Robert Brown is well known for composing the music and writing the lyrics for The Last Five Years, 13, Parade and The Bridges Of Madison County. The pop, gospel and jazz score of this musical tells the story of a “new world”, a world in which the definitions of family, distance, money, technology, the very nature of human contact, is changing every day.
