QUOTES FROM THE AUDIENCE
“I enjoyed every minute of the show. It was moving and funny and warm and surprising and exuberant and enlightening and wildly entertaining, and your choices were all fantastic!”
“Just a delight and a lot of nice surprises. And Brandon! Singing “My Attorney Bernie,” inspired. A classic night.”
“Very well organized, but so casual and comfortable. GREAT choice of songs, almost none of which I’d heard before. GREAT cast, whose enjoyment of the music and lyrics, as well as the tone of the evening, was evident. I loved sharing laughs with the rest of the audience, not all of whom were Jewish, based on who was sitting around me.”
“With apologies to Levy’s rye bread, you don’t have to be Jewish to love Funny Jewish Songs.”
“That was a genuinely great evening–the selections, the sequence, the stars, the snapshots, the conversations.”
“I loved the show! You probably heard me roaring with laughter from the back of the theatre. It was so funny and so original, and the performers were perfect.”
“Wonderful songs, most of which I didn’t know, fun and funny. The talent – impeccable. The short interview breaks were insightful and pleasantly informal. I found myself waiting for the childhood photo of each performer. It felt like they were each connecting to their Jewish heritage, expressed differently for each of them, but lovingly the same in their evocation of Jewish pride and spirit.”
“It was exactly what we all needed. I felt like I belonged. For an hour and a half, there was no Trump, no us against them, and I was sitting on my grandma’s lap, safe and loved.”
“What a wonderful and fun night! All the performances were terrific, and the audience AND performers had a great time. I cannot wait to listen to some of the songs again — such a treat to be introduced to so many that I didn’t know. “
“I feel so lucky to have seen this. Jeff Baron put together a delightful show and hosted it with style. Bravo!”
“What a delight. The thoughtful curatorship, funny segues, stellar cast, and lively format made for an entertaining and educational evening!
