“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. The moment you think you know where you stand, the things that you’re sure of slip from your hand, and you’re suddenly a stranger in some completely different land.” – Jason Robert Brown

Songs for a New World with music and lyrics by Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown, opened at Off-Broadway’s WPA Theatre in 1995 and has since received over two hundred productions around the world. Straddling the boundary between musical and song cycle, Songs is a highly theatrical and character-driven production about love, life and seizing the moment. Jason Robert Brown is also known for his other acclaimed musicals Parade and The Last Five Years.

May 9th through the 25th at Soul Invictus With a pay-what-you-can preview May 8th, 8pm Friday and Saturday performances are at 8pm, Sundays at 7pm.

    "The Best Show No One's Seeing"

    At first I was a little worried being one of very few audience members, but I figured it was only $15 so what did I have to lose? However, I can honestly say that from the very first note of the show I was very impressed. The cast is made up four amazing performers that more than fill the space with sound with out the aide of mics. I have listened to Songs For A New World for years, but not until I actually saw it performed did I really appreciate the stories told of the songs. While the first Act is definitely the more upbeat of the two Acts, my favorite moments took place in Act Two; Aimee Lucas's "Christmas Lullably", Damon Bolling & Ms. Lucas's "I'll Give All For You" and Mandy Roses's "Flagmaker" each brought a tear to my eye. While this production may have an occasional flaw, it's was an overall great show. It is a shame there was not many there to see it. I hope this talented cast gets the audience they deserve.

    I saw the preview for this show last night and it was wonderful! It touched on controversial issues such as abortion and the war. The cast was amazing! There were moments that were fun and made you want to dance to the music, and then there were moments that were moving and sincere and brought a tear to my eye. This is a show you don't want to miss!
