Says the author of this
gripping revue, "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." Jason
Robert Brown (composer-lyricist
of the critical smash "Parade")
has the whole theatre community
talking about his blend
of savvy showmanship and
exciting contemporary sound.
Brown transports his audience
from the deck of a 1492
Spanish sailing ship to
a ledge 57 stories above
Fifth Avenue to meet a startling
array of characters ranging
from a young man who has
determined that basketball
is his ticket out of the
ghetto to a woman whose
dream of marrying rich nabs
her the man of her dreams
and a soulless marriage.
These are the stories and
characters of today, the
songs for a new world.
With a small, powerhouse
multi-ethnic cast and
a driving, exquisitely
crafted score running
the gamut of today's popular
music, "Songs For A New
World" is a great way
to bring the next generation
into the theatre. It's
a remarkable achievement
from a remarkable new
voice.

"Try To Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences at New York's Sullivan Street Playhouse. "The Fantasticks" is the longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.
Its moving tale of young lovers who become disillusioned, only to discover a more mature, meaningful love is punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become standards.
Written by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, The Fantasticks has delighted audiences across the world-including a record shattering 17,162 performances at the Sullivan Street Playhouse, where it made its Off Broadway debut in 1960. Whether it's an old favorite or your first time, you won't want to miss this timeless show that's certain to steal your heart.
