Songs for a New World

Second Stage presents Songs for a New World, directed and choreographed by Elizabeth Trammell '10, music directed by Steph Ross '09.

Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Originally Produced by the WPA Theatre, New York City, 1995
Original Orchestration by Brian Besterman and Jason Robert Brown

A six-person cast will take you through a musical journey, portraying an array of characters from Christopher Columbus to the wife of Santa Claus, to more modern stories, such as a woman searching for love in wealth and a young man hoping that basketball will be his ticket out of the ghetto. Ultimately, the show teaches us about ourselves and our journeys throughout the stories and characters of today, accompanied by the music of a new world.
