AUGUST 26, 2021 @ RADIAL PARK
This outdoor and socially distanced concert production of JASON ROBERT BROWN'S popular song cycle SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD is a celebration of New York City, featuring a Broadway star-studded cast set against Radial Park's breathtaking backdrop of the Manhattan skyline.
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. The first musical from Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County), this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices that we make.
