Check out a first look at the cast in action below!

Songs for a New World weaves characters, locations and time periods together in one extraordinary evening - from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship to the window-ledge of a New York penthouse. Jason Robert Brown's unforgettable songs take us on a vibrant, thrilling and moving journey through life-changing moments that define us.

Written when Jason Robert Brown was only 25, Songs for a New World broke the mould of the 'showstopper' Broadway musical. The show debuted Off-Broadway in 1995 and has since been seen in hundreds of productions around the world, including the UK Premiere at the Bridewell Theatre in 2001.

Songs for a New World quickly established Jason Robert Brown as an intriguing new talent. Since then, the celebrated composer and lyricist has created Honeymoon In Vegas, which has just finished a critically acclaimed run on Broadway; multi-award winning Broadway musical The Bridges of Madison County; 13, which Brown directed for its West End premiere in 2012 for National Youth Music Theatre; The Last Five Years, which won Drama Desk Awards for Best Music and Best Lyrics and was made into a film; and Parade, which won both the Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Musical, as well as the Tony Award for Original Score.
