Songs for A New World

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD

Directed by: William Sutton

Songs for a New World is a stunning song cycle by Jason Robert Brown — a collection of stories that explore the moment of change, hope, and passion in various walks of life. Each piece captures a character standing at the crossroads of choice and transformation — be it tragic, comedic, or simply beautiful.

Our vision is to delve into those defining moments of humanity, where people decide who they are and what they stand for.

Dynamic range from introspective to commanding; strong baritenor.

Charismatic and grounded; must handle diverse vocal styles and characters.

Powerful vocal presence and emotional depth; wide range from contemporary belt to lyrical ballad.

Warm, expressive, and versatile; strong storytelling ability through music.

Because of the show’s flexible structure, there may be special tracks or one-song features cast from the audition process. For this, I encourage everyone to give their favorite song a shot!

We are also seeking dancers/backup vocalists who will be integral to the show’s movement and visual storytelling. Contemporary, modern, and theatrical movement experience preferred.
