Brown, according to the show's press release, "has been hailed by the Philadelphia Inquirer as 'the "smartest and most sophisticated Broadway songwriter since Stephen Sondheim'." His '"extraordinary, jubilant theatre music"' (Chicago Tribune) has been heard all over the world, whether in one of the hundreds of productions of his musicals every year or in his own incendiary live performances."

Brown's The Last 5 Years, which was cited as one of Time Magazine's "10 Best of 2001," won Drama Desk Awards for Best Music and Best Lyrics. Brown won a 1999 Tony Award for his score to Parade, a musical written with Alfred Uhry and directed by Harold Prince, which premiered at Lincoln Center Theatre in December 1998, subsequently winning both the Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards for Best New Musical. Parade was also presented on a National Tour in 2000, which Brown conducted. Songs for a New World opened Off-Broadway at the WPA Theatre in the fall of 1995, and has since been seen in more than two hundred productions around the world.

Tickets, which range from $25 to $35, are available by calling 818-508-4200 or 866-811-4111, or by visiting www.elportaltheatre.com .
