When Jason Robert Brown created Songs for a New World, he didn't want to write a musical. And he didn't want to write a song cycle. What he wrote was kind of a hybrid between the two about the moment of decision--kind of that point where potentiality becomes something. SO it's a really good choice for a group of students.
