Introducing Ghost Quartet: A Musical Resurrection

About the Show: Ghost Quartet is a mesmerizing song cycle that weaves threads of love, vengeance, and the haunting allure of whiskey in a tapestry several layers deep. Written and composed by Dave Malloy, this odyssey invites you into a story where time blurs and spirits linger.

We begin (or end) with a broken camera—within these shards, four friends gather, their lives intertwined across epochs and space. As they raise their glasses, they drink to memories, lost loves, and the mysteries that bind them. From medieval fairy tales to 21st century death trips, their stories echo through ages.

This contemporary song cycle weaves characters and history together, illuminating the timelessness of self-discovery.

It's about one moment. It's about hitting the wall and having to make a choice... or take a stand... or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs for a New World. The first musical from Tony Award winner, Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County), this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices that we make.

Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge, 57 stories above Fifth Avenue, to meet a startling array of characters that range from a young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams... and a soulless marriage.
With a small, powerhouse multi-ethnic cast and a driving, exquisitely crafted score that runs the gamut of today's popular music, Songs for a New World is a great way to bring the next generation into the theatre.
