Songs for a New World is a modern musical revue that chronicles the wonder, excitement and anxiety of discovery. Whether the discovery is Columbus' journey to the Americas or a personal revelation of one's self, it is the awareness of a new world filled with opportunities and limitations. Composer/lyricist Jason Robert Brown, who won a Tony Award for his musical Parade, has provided a wide array of songs that capture both the power and vulnerability of newly found knowledge. The lyrics are intricate and emotional, and the music is challenging and uplifting. The show expresses the true sense of everyone's journey for meaning, and the result is a captivating piece of musical theater.
