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.

The action of the play occurs in an English industrial city, where a young girl commits suicide and an eminently respectable British family is subject to a routine inquiry in connection with the death. An inspector calls to interrogate the family, and during the course of his questioning, all members of the group are implicated lightly or deeply in the girl’s undoing. The family, closely knit and friendly at the beginning of the evening, is shown up as selfish, self-centered or cowardly, its good humor turning to acid, and good fellowship to dislike, before the evening is over. The surprising revelation, however, is in the inspector—who turns out to be no copper at all but a mysterious individual with full knowledge of everyone’s connection with the suicide. After the false inspector has been shown up, and it is discovered that no suicide had been recorded, an actual copper shows, and a last-minute suicide is reported, which ties in mysteriously with the foregoing.

In Excuse My French... Literally!, Amandine shares her unapologetically French take on life across America— from Paris to Pennsylvania and every culture clash in between. With humor, heart, and a spark of defiance, she recounts the hilarious and heartfelt misadventures of building a new life in a language and a world - not her own. From accidentally offending strangers with her honesty to losing (and ultimately reclaiming) her voice through love, loss, and resilience, Amandine reminds us that language is only the beginning of the journey. Whether you're a language lover, a fellow outsider, or just someone who’s ever struggled to fit in, this one- woman show invites you to laugh, reflect, and remember: your true self is always worth holding onto.
