David Gauci and Davine Productions celebrates 10 years of the best of music theatre with another Adelaide debut, A New Brain.
This acclaimed show by Tony Award-winning composer William Finn (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Elegies and Falsettos) features more than 20 songs, 11 larger-than-life characters and an orchestra of nine.
With music inspired by Broadway composers like Sondheim, Bernstein, Porter, Rogers and Hart A New Brain touches on themes of dysfunctional relationships, life and death struggles and the healing power of time and music.
Faced with his own mortality, this is William Finn's semi-autobiographical account of writing the musical he thought he may not live to write.
Clever, energetic, sardonic, and comical, it is a musical about those moments that remind us of who we are and what's important in life.
Vocal arrangements by Tony-Award-winning Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Bridges of Madison County, The Last Five Years) and the Book by James Lapine and William Finn, ensures a memorable and uplifting night of musical comedy and drama.
“A New Brain manages to be one of the most life-affirming, most heartfelt musicals written in the last decades of the twentieth century…” Scott Miller (Author, composer, artistic director)
"Jaunty.. with moments of captivating eccentricity" The New York Times
