Songs for a New World is about one moment—the moment when you hit the wall and must make a choice… or take a stand… or turn back. It’s a powerful collection of stories and characters that capture the challenges, hopes, and resilience of today. From the mind of Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (Parade, The Bridges of Madison County), this moving musical examines life, love, and the choices that define us.

Brown transports audiences from the deck of a Spanish sailing ship in 1492 to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue, introducing a vivid array of characters—from a young man dreaming of escaping his neighborhood through basketball to a woman who marries rich only to find herself in a soulless relationship.

Featuring a small but powerhouse cast and an exquisitely crafted score that spans today’s popular music, Songs for a New World is an inspiring experience for all generations. Join us for an unforgettable evening at The State Theater on January 30th and 31st at 7 PM, and discover the moments that connect us all.
