Songs for a New World. It’s about one moment.

Simon Frost • September 22, 2021

Songs for a New World is the first musical from Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges Of Madison County), coming to Titchfield Festival Theatre in October.

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. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs For A New World, this moving collection of powerful songs which examines life, love and the choices we make. It is also about looking forward and knowing that there is always someone there routing for you. 

 

Karla Watkins is the director of Songs for a New World and said,

 

“Songs for a New World is technically a song cycle, a collection of stories from unnamed characters around a theme. They are all based around a moment of decision or change in a person’s life, whether that be circumstantial or they themselves make a decision to change their lives.

 

“I have been working with cast members in the show on other projects, and I wanted the opportunity to work together with this extremely talented group of amazing singers – Songs for a New World showcases their talent perfectly.

 

“For me, the show is truly inspirational. The audience will watch as people seek to fight through their difficulties, or make decisions to improve their lives. They will discover that even when people are in turmoil, there still manages to be something uplifting about the music.

 

“People will particularly enjoy the variety of music there is in this show. There is something for everyone, from your traditional sounding musical ballads to songs with elements of jazz or funk. The singers are incredible and will have people on the edge of their seats with the performances they will be giving.”

 

Titchfield Festival Theatre’s production of Songs for a New World opens at the Titchfield Festival Theatre, St Margarets Lane on Monday 11th October until Saturday 16th October 2021. Evening shows start at 7.30pm.
