About the Show 

STANDALONE is a heartfelt song cycle for our hyper-connected, digital age. With warmth, wit, and an ear for the rhythms of Broadway and pop, Joel B. New explores the modern paradox: in a world where we’re more “connected” than ever, why do we often feel so alone?

Across a series of charming and candid songs, the show captures the longing for genuine human connection in a landscape dominated by screens, apps, and fleeting swipes. From the playful energy of “Cute White Boy” to the driving insistence of “Can’t Put It Down”, STANDALONE balances humor with sincerity, inviting audiences to laugh, reflect, and maybe recognize a piece of themselves.

At its core, STANDALONE isn’t about reinventing the wheel — it’s about shining a light on the everyday experiences we all share, and finding beauty in their simplicity. The result is a warm, engaging theatrical experience that lingers long after the final note.
