Carriage Works Theatre

Music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown

Songs for a New World Is a contemporary song cycle weaving characters and history together, illuminating the timelessness of self-discovery, it speaks to a world we now inhabit and gives us hope for a future that will be new and bright.

It’s about one moment in many characters lives, you will Witness their life changing choices and laugh and cry with these amazing songs, each one, epic, in its own right.

This is the first musical penned by the unbelievable multi award winning Jason Robert Brown. It combines Jazz, gospel and musical theatre in an astonishing musical journey through joy, pain, failure and triumph.  This cast bring this to life with musical prowess and stunning vocals.

Rehearsed entirely in lockdown and recorded live and COVID safe on the Carriageworks stage, this season has been created with the astonishing commitment, talent and drive of Leeds Community Arts Network, who are committed to keeping the arts alive for everyone.
