Quite Good Theatre and Upstairs at the Gatehouse present SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD Following a brief five-star run in Southend last year, cult musical SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse this February for a strictly limited run. The debut song-cycle from Tony Award® winner Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade, Bridges of Madison County), SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD is an anthology of short stories told through song that takes audiences on a journey, teetering on the edge of one moment that can shape the rest of your life. Featuring Musical Theatre fan favourites including ‘I’m Not Afraid of Anything’, 'Stars and the Moon' and ‘King of the World’, this production of SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD creatively explores the human condition from vastly different New World perspectives, from the deck of a 15th century ship to the window ledge of a modern day high-rise in Manhattan. SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD Originally Produced by the WPA Theatre, New York City, 1995 Original Orchestration by Brian Besterman and Jason Robert Brown Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International Music & Lyrics: Jason Robert Brown | Original Orchestrations: Jason Robert Brown & Brian Besterman.
