Kicking off our brand new Off Broadway Series is Songs for a New World by Jason Robert Brown, a stunning concert reading on the SDMT Stage! This contemporary song cycle weaves characters and history together, illuminating the timelessness of self-discovery. Brown transports us from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge, 57 stories above Fifth Avenue, to meet a startling array of characters that range from a young man who has determined that basketball 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.
With a small, powerhouse multi-ethnic cast and a driving, exquisitely crafted score that runs the gamut of today’s popular music, Songs for a New World is a great way to bring the next generation into the theatre.
