Preview: Angelwalk's Songs For a New World

Previews start tonight for Anglewalk's production of Songs For a New World, which is playing at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, up at Yonge and Sheppard. The show originally ran off-Broadway for 28 performances at the WPA in New York City. Songs... introduced Jason Robert Brown, one of the best contemporary composers, to theatre audiences. Often called a song-cycle instead of a musical Songs... is connected through theme rather than through narrative. Four performers take on various roles, and while those individual characters aren't consistent they do have a consistent character arc throughout the show.

Anglewalk's production of [title of show] was one of Justin and my favourites from the fall. We are very excited to see Songs... which features Justin Bott's return for another show with Angelwalk this season. He is joined by Erica Peak, of We Will Rock You fame, Denise Oucharek, and Steward Adam Mckensy. Songs... has got great music and is a particular favourite of mine. EAP will be at the show this Friday. Hope you'll be there too. And if you need more convincing check out the teasers below.
