Songs For A New World

It’s about one moment…at a crossroads, on a ledge, holding onto your past and looking forward. This first musical by Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown (Parade, The Bridges of Madison County), is an anthology of vignettes that explores the complexities of what it means to be radically, intrinsically human in the 21st century. With a powerhouse cast of voices telling its stories, SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD chronicles life in a modern age where dreams and disillusionment go hand-in-hand in the search for authentic connection, discerning what’s real in a virtual world of social media platforms and dating websites, and celebrating life as we make it. It’s a captivating intersection where diverse voices meet the burden of an unpredictable reality…and persevere. Says director and Celebration artistic director Brittney S. Wheeler, “Who better to do it than queer people?”
