Description:
From the acclaimed writer of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee comes a semi-autobiographical musical about a songwriter’s fight for his life. Gordon Schwinn’s greatest fear is dying with his best songs still inside him, and so he works day and night from his hospital bed to get them all out. With his life reduced to sponge baths, MRIs, daytime visitors and lonely nights, he utilizes his imagination to transport himself into a stunning musical journey. “I won’t beat around the bush: A New Brain is the most exciting new musical to reach New York in quite a while. . . it is hypnotic and soulful and transporting,” NY Theatre. -
