SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD delivered an engaging 85 minutes of musical theatre, managing to explore a clear thesis while doing so. Like some of the musicals presented at the Student Arts Festival over the past few years, it raised the bar of what can be accomplished on this platform in this genre.

Certain parts of Jason Robert Brown's score for SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD have been translated for a new South African production of the show which is currently being performed at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. The intention is to explore possibilities for a greater connection for both the performers and the audience with the text of the show and the themes it communicates.

'The Rocky Horror Show is going to blow the roof off the Weitzenhoffer Theatre. Get ready to party the night away!' says Richard J. Hinds, guest director/choreographer. The musical that became a movie sensation and started a four-decade nonstop cultural phenomenon is back where it is meant to be seen - live on stage.
