![]() "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. The moment you think you know where you stand, the things that you're sure of slip from your hand, and you're suddenly a stranger in some completely different land." -- Jason Robert Brown Four performers: two women and two men. A five person band, with the composer at the piano. It was just a collection of songs; written at different times for different projects. And yet somehow it all came together. Although it only lasted 28 performances, a standard run, at the WPA Theatre, this musical revue of songs by the up-and-coming composer Jason Robert Brown was met with much acclaim, and foreshadowed what was to come with this incredibly talented man.
