'Songs for a New World' at the Riverside

THE best musicals have three essential qualities - Brains (intelligence and style), Heart (genuine and believable emotion), and Courage (the guts to do something creative and exciting) and Songs For a New World has bucket loads.

On Saturday, September 11 an exciting modern musical about life changing and earth shattering discovery opens at the Riverside Theatre, Coleraine.

In a new world in which today’s answers probably won’t apply tomorrow, everyone recognises struggle and the challenge of finding a way to go forward.

Those moments of discovery in a new set of circumstances that cannot be expressed with mere words - they must be sung with every fibre of your being. This is what Songs For a New World is all about.

This modern musical, direct from Broadway by Jason Robert Brown, is entirely about the music, the challenging vocals and the emotions of the four characters.

Songs for a New World shows the struggle between fear and faith, and it asks the question, In the moment of profound discovery what do you do?

“Songs for a New World is more than a show it is an experience of musical energy. The music ranges through pop, gospel, jazz and classical in a non stop performance,” says Musical Director, Andrew Robinson, from the new theatre company Just Tea & Friends.

“We defy anyone to just sit and let the music wash over them.”
