  • Songs for a New World

    “The beginning of everything. One of the greatest group of people I have ever worked with in my life. The wonderful Daisy Prince helmed the project with care and humor. My childhood pal, Jason Robert Brown, was dazzling us daily with his compositions and vocal arrangements. And at any given moment, I got to witness my favorite performers, Jessica Molaskey, Brooks Ashmanskas and Billy Porter interpret that spectacular music. Rehearsal was heaven on Earth.”

    The World Was Dancing (from Songs for a New World)
    by Jason Robert Brown
    Performed by Andrea Burns, Brooks Ashmanskas, Jessica Molaskey, and Ty Taylor

    I think this is one of Brown’s best songs, and it doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. (Excuse the 1990s orchestrations.)
