Songs for a New World


Songs for a New World, St James Theatre, 2015.

Cast: Cynthia Erivo, Damian Humbley, Dean John Wilson, Jenna Russell.

Music & lyrics: Jason Robert Brown
Director: Adam Lenson 

I remember going to see this - I went with a man who I was dating at the time, at his suggestion. I'd not heard of the writer and remember enjoying it. It was one of the few times I went to the St James Theatre before it became The Other Palace (stupid rebrand) and although I loved the theatre I've never found a reason to go back. Imagine my surprise when I opened the programme and spotted the global phenomenon that is Cynthia Erivo in the cast!
