As the medical team works to diagnose and treat him, Gordon is guided by family, friends and a hallucination of a singing frog from the children’s television show for which he’s been trying to compose. A New Brain forces Gordon to take a look at the life he’s lived and wonder: Have I made my mark? What should I create with the time I have left? With a contemporary score and book by William Finn and James Lapine, audiences will enjoy this witty story of one man discovering and using his voice. Find humor and the healing power of art in this musical journey.
