iSing presents Jason Robert Brown's masterpiece, Songs for a New World, directed by Vince Pagan.
Jason Robert Brown said, "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." Brown, composer-lyricist of the critical smash Parade, 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 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. These are the stories and characters of today, the songs for a new world. (Courtesy of Musical Theatre International)
