Songs for a New World

Don’t miss your last chance to catch the critically acclaimed “virtual lockdown production” of Jason Robert Brown’s Songs For A New World as it streams again with stream.theatre for a week this February.

Filmed during the first UK lockdown, entirely in isolation and on the artists smart phones, Séimí Campbell directs Rachel John (Hamilton), Ramin Karimloo (Phantom of The Opera), Cedric Neal (Motown), Rachel Tucker (Come From Away) and newcomer Shem Omari-James, with musical supervision by Adam Hoskins, musical direction from Josh Winstone and video editing by Danny Kaan.

Written by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown and sitting between musical and song cycle, this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love, and the choices that we make as it transports audiences through time and space. This topical piece is an examination of a defining moment in history, a reflection of the state of the world in the Summer of 2020.
