"STORIES OF PASSION, STORIES OF FRIENDSHIP, AND TALES OF HOW ROMANCE SURVIVES"
<>FROM THE TONY-WINNING WRITERS OF FALSETTOS AND SPELLING BEE!
A timely revival of the Finn & Lapine show about second chances and the urgency of art, Celebration Theatre brings us into the world of this <>queer musical of “captivating eccentricity” (New York Times) with an intimate experience of pathos, humor, and just a little bit of magic—to bring us back to life.
Composer Gordon Schwinn collapses into their lunch and awakes in the hospital, surrounded by their lover, mother, co-worker, doctor, and nurses. Coming face to face with their own mortality, Gordon sees their greatest fear: will they die with their greatest songs still unwritten? A New Brain reminds us that the power of music, love, and the creation of art can never be lost.
With a <>gender-expansive casting vision from Celebration and director <>Khanisha Foster, thoughtfully imbued into a buoyant score and “fascinating story” (New York Post) from the Tony Award-winning authors of Falsettos and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, audiences have the unique opportunity to see A New Brain in Los Angeles as it has never been done before.
