Songs For a New World
Get ready to have your socks knocked off yet again! Houston Family Arts Center is thrilled to bring you a musical experience not to be missed! For two days only, HFAC is pleased to bring you a special presentation of Songs For a New World - a theatrical song cycle by the Tony Award winning composer, Jason Robert Brown.
Songs for a New World is a work of musical theater written and composed by Jason Robert Brown, author of Thirteen. The show is a series of very vocally demanding songs, all connected by theme rather than narrative, and performed by 16 of our most talented voices. Filled with witty lyrics, intoxicating harmonies, and poignant melodies, Songs for a New World will take you on a journey through life’s little hiccups, heartaches, fresh beginnings, and triumphs while journeying along the path to discovering new worlds within oneself and beyond. Composer Jason Robert Brown has said of his show, "It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back."
Because this is a catered dinner, advance reservations are required.
Directed by Ilich Guardiola. Songs for a New World is sure to ignite your musical theatre taste buds!
