Songs for a New World for Brisbane
New production company New World Theatre will stage the ‘exquisitely crafted’ Songs For A New World in Brisbane this November.
After auditioning for over 2 days, the New World Theatre team were able to narrow their cast down to just four roles.
The tight-knit cast features Lara Boyle (Jo, Little Women), Simon Chamberlain (Price Eric, Little Mermaid), Natalie Ridoutt (Eva, Evita) and Liam J O'Byrne (Laurie, Little Women).
Artistic Director and company co-founder, Melanie Evans, is excited to bring the show to the north-Brisbane region.
“I can’t wait for audiences to witness that magic that this cast will produce,” Evans said.
“If you haven’t got your tickets yet, make sure to grab them while you can!”
Lara Boyle says that performing Songs For A New World has always been a ‘bucket list production’.
“I first heard the music of Jason Robert Brown almost ten years ago, and ever since then I have been waiting for the chance to perform it - I feel very lucky!”
Songs For A New Worldis the first show from Tony Award Winner Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County) and has a score including ‘A New World’ and ‘I’d Give It All For You’.
Songs For A New World is being staged in Strathpine’s Act 1 Theatre from November 17 – 20.
Tickets for Songs For A New World are now available via the New World website: www.newworldtheatre.com.au
