Background:
A NEW BRAIN is the musical story of a composer who dreams of greatness, but finds himself stuck writing songs for the egomaniacal host of a children's television show. When it is discovered he has a brain tumor, the composer must cope with the possibility that his best work may remain unwritten while also dealing with his oppressive mother, his distant lover, his frustrated best friend, and a demanding 6-foot frog. A semi-autobiographical piece written by William Finn (FALSETTOS), and first produced at Lincoln Center in 1998, A NEW BRAIN showcases brilliant music, a witty book and expressive lyrics.
