Jason Robert Brown’s “Songs for a New World” is a show somewhere between a musical and song cycle – a series of songs all connected by a theme: ‘the moment of decision’.
A small, yet powerful and diverse cast presents this rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, featuring tight harmonies and darling vocals.
“Songs for a New World” transports its audience from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship bound for a new land, to the ledge of a New York penthouse.
Characters range from the mother of a Revolutionary soldier awaiting the end of a brutal war, to a young man in the Bronx dreaming of becoming a famous basketball player, to a forlorn and neglected Mrs. Claus lamenting as Christmas approaches once again.
Performances: June 20 at 7:30pm/ June 21 at 2:00 and 7:30 pm/ June 22 at 2:00 pm
Tickets: $20.00 with reserved seating www.concordplayers.org
