Theatre on the Lake

Songs for a New World
Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown

July 16 - 20
Lauded composer Jason Robert Brown (composer-lyricist of the hits The Last Five Years and Parade) has had the world talking about Songs for a New World ever since its exciting premiere. With a small, powerhouse cast and a driving, exquisitely crafted score running the gamut of today’s popular music, Songs for a New World is a great example of the next generation of musical theatre.

Just want to remember that I saw this play this past Friday night. It was really a refreshing, nice theatre experience. Theatre on the Lake is open to the lake, so it brings in a lot of air and a natural feel to the setting. The performers were talented, and as a result, I am intrigued -- and enjoying! -- the soundtrack. The picture above is the cast I saw.
