Brown transports his audience from the deck of a 1492 Spanish sailing ship to a ledge 57 stories above Fifth Avenue to meet a startling array of characters ranging from a young man who has determined that basketball is his ticket out of the ghetto to a woman whose dream of marrying rich nabs her the man of her dreams in a soulless marriage. These are the stories and characters of today, the songs for a new world.

Woman in a fur coat

Man with his hand on woman's stomach

Several people on steps at different levels

Two men and two women

Man holding a woman in his arms

Man and a woman dancing

group of people dancing

Man singing

Man in a spotlight
