Songs For A New World
Sat, 27 Aug 2005, 03:09 amYoung Australian talent to unite in ‘SONGS’
A multi-talented troupe of 25 Victorian artists will take to the stage this September in a unique new production of an Off-Broadway smash.
Melbourne based performing arts company Devanesen Productions is presenting Tony award winning composer Jason Robert Brown’s celebrated music theatre song-cycle ‘SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD’ for an exclusive, limited season at Gasworks Theatre.
It’s been a decade since ‘SONGS’ – which transports the audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue, to the harsh reality of the city streets, and beyond – enjoyed its original New York engagement. Since then the show has enjoyed more than 300 productions worldwide – including a sell out smash at the 2003 Adelaide Cabaret Festival. But this latest Melbourne incarnation is something altogether different.
Usually presented with a small, revue style cast, Devanesen Productions’ ‘SONGS’ will be performed by an powerful ensemble of 25, handpicked, young Victorian artists – letting this acclaimed work soar to new heights.
The cast bring to life a diverse array of vibrant characters – stories and characters of today, the ‘songs for a new world.’
Says Brown of the gripping revue: “It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back.”
SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD
“IT’S ABOUT ONE MOMENT.”
FEATURING:
Jessica Barlow, Kristen Bourke, Natalie Calia, Shandelle Cooke, Emily Devlin, Emily Doran, Lisa Faulkner, Brad Fischer, Kasey Gambling, Melinda Gregory, Heath Harney, Daniel Hearn, Liana Jessop, Tim McCallum, Scott McKenzie, Sarah Patterson, Adina Rabbone, Sam Rabbone, Elethea Sartorelli, Matt Skinner, James Smith, Sophie Thomas, Toby Truscott, Erin Zadow
WHEN: September 1 – 4 @ 8pm with a 2pm Matinee on Saturday 3rd.
WHERE: Gasworks Arts Park.
BOOKINGS: Phone (03) 9699 3253
