Facing moments of crisis and finding the courage to go on – hitting a wall and having to make a choice: Jason Robert Brown delivers in ‘Songs for a New World’ a freewheeling exploration of the human soul, addressing the fundamental issues of faith, love, regret and devotion.
In sixteen songs ranging from broad comedy and full-voiced anthem to touching love song, and from a single mother's hymn of praise for the gift of her child-to-be, to a bored and sexually frustrated Mrs Santa Claus, Brown has created a piece of musical drama that above all deals with the struggle for personal fulfilment.

CUMTS returns to the ADC stage, after the sell-out successes of West Side Story (Cambridge Arts Theatre) Into the Woods and Company (ADC Theatre) with Broadway's outrageously entertaining jazz, rock and swing version of the G&S favourite.
The Japanese town of Titi-pu is transported to a smoky jazz club, where the establishment comes up against the wrath of torch-song diva Katisha, executioner Koko, and the powerful zoot-suited Mikado. As the Three Little Maids pay close-harmony homage to the Andrews Sisters, heads are about to roll when the club's delectable doo-wah singer Yum-Yum decides she wants to marry Nanki-Poo, a trumpet player in a travelling swing band - or so he seems...
Rocking the rafters with joyful harmony, flashy kimonos and a song about a depressed bluetit, Hot Mikado is a glamorous and jazzy Japanese feel-good feast of all that is swinging, sequined and sizzling hot.
