“It’s about one moment…”
Written and composed by Jason Robert Brown, this eclectic, iconic and powerful song cycle is connected by one theme: “the moment of decision”. Through a series of stories, characters from across time face moments of decisions that will forever change their lives, as each tale weaves together topics of hope, love, and possibility.
Performed by our Musical Theatre students, this intimate production showcases Brown’s blend of pop, jazz, and gospel in an emotional journey about life’s pivotal moments.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.mtishows.co.uk
