​Songs for a New World

將要碰壁的一刻,你要做一個決定,換一個立場,還是轉身逃跑?Songs for a New World 以歌曲捕捉這一瞬間,探討生命、愛和抉擇,屬於今天的故事和人物,再以音樂開展新世界。作曲及填詞Jason Robert Brown將觀眾由1492年西班牙船艦的甲板上,帶到紐約第五大道,遇上立志用籃球脫貧的年輕男子,再見證終日幻想能嫁個有錢人的女子,終於如願以償卻發現沒靈魂的一段婚姻。Songs for a New World 是個組曲音樂劇 (Song Cycle),17首歌曲蘊含著17個故事。自1995年於外百老匯首演後,已經於全球上演數百場。

 

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. This moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices we make. 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 basket-ball 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. Songs for a New World, a theatrical song cycle, which played Off-Broadway in 1995, and has since been seen in hundreds of productions around the world.
