A NEW BRAIN - In Concert A NEW BRAIN - In Concert

By the Tony Award-winning authors of Falsettos, here is an energetic, sardonic, often comical

musical about a composer during a medical emergency.

Gordon collapses into his lunch and awakes in the hospital, surrounded by his maritime-

enthusiastlover, his mother, a co-worker,the doctor, and the nurses. Reluctantly, he had been

composing a song for a children's television show that features a frog -- Mr. Bungee -- and the

specter of this large green character and the unfinished work haunts him throughout his

medical ordeal. What was thought to be a tumor turns out to be something more operable, and

Gordon recovers, grateful for a chance to compose the songs he yearns to produce.

Presented In Concert version with a full band in the wonderful Mosman Art Gallery over three performances.
