New York City
A timely revival about second chances and the urgency of art, this queer musical of “captivating eccentricity” (New York Times) is an intimate experience of pathos, humor, and just a little bit of magic — to bring us back to life. In A New Brain, composer Gordon Schwinn collapses into their lunch and awakens in the hospital, surrounded by their lover, mother, co-worker, doctor, and nurses. Coming face to face with their own mortality, Gordon sees their greatest fear: will they die with their greatest songs still unwritten? A New Brain reminds us that the power of music, love, and the creation of art can never be lost.
