ABOUT THE SHOW: "Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad – but the world goes 'round." Life (with its glories, indignities, hopes and quiet dreams) is the subject of this stunning revue of the beloved songs of John Kander and Fred Ebb.
The vast range of human experience is explored in song after impeccable song by one of Broadway’s most daring and successful teams and masters of the heart-grabbing Broadway showstopper. This glittering revue features unforgettable gems from throughout their incredible career in theatre, film and television, spotlighting songs from CABARET, CHICAGO, KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN, New York, New York, Funny Lady and more.
Director Scott Ellis and choreographer Susan Stroman shaped the original production into one of the most memorable, well-constructed revues since AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' with a small, multi-talented cast, gorgeous vocal arrangements, sizzling orchestrations and delightfully inventive staging involving banjos, roller skates, shopping carts and more! (Their helpful suggestions are available in an optional staging guide.)
Filled with humor, romance, drama, nonstop melody and brassy, insightful lyrics, THE WORLD GOES 'ROUND is a thrilling celebration of life and the fighting spirit that keeps us all going.

ABOUT THE SHOW: Jason Robert Brown says, "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.
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.
With a small, powerhouse multi-ethnic cast and a driving, exquisitely crafted score running the gamut of today’s popular music, SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD is a great way to bring the next generation into the theatre.
