Oy Vey! A Night of Jewish Excellence for Hanukkah, feat. Lauren Molina & more
December 7, 2023
Come celebrate the first night of Hanukkah with a very special show at 54 Below!
Jewish people have been an integral part of Broadway’s tapestry for as long as Broadway has existed. Some of our most celebrated works focus on or feature Jewish stories and experiences.
Often however, Jewish performers are not given the chance to be the ones to tell those stories.
But that’s not the case tonight!
Get ready to hear all your favorite songs from beloved shows like Fiddler on the Roof, Parade, Falsettos, and more, sung by Broadway’s best, brightest, and — you guessed it — Jewish-est!
With Anti-Semitism in North America at its highest peak in decades, we’re honored and excited to have a night dedicated to giving Jewish artists the stage. Music direction by Simone Allen, with piano accompaniment by Madeline Myers (for Samantha Massell only).
Featuring:
Carolyn Berliner (The Elephant Man at Williamstown)
Jordan Matthew Brown (The Book of Mormon Broadway and national tour)
Rebecca Codas (“Over the Rainbow”)
Ben Freeman (Beloved King: A Queer Biblical Musical at Oberon at A.R.T.)
Marques Hollie (Go Down, Moshe)
Lily Lester (Mishegoss Comedy)
Samantha Massell (Fiddler on the Roof)
Lauren Molina (The Skivvies, John Doyle’s Sweeney Todd)
Brooke Sterling (New York premier of Mystic Pizza)
Becca Suskauer (Pretty Woman national tour)
Dani Weiner (Snow White at Hangar Theatre)
and more stars to be announced!
A portion of the proceeds from this evening will benefit LAB/SHUL: an artist-driven, everybody-friendly, God-optional experimental community for sacred Jewish gatherings based in NYC and reaching the world. www.labshul.org
Produced by Rebecca Codas.
Please note that all artists and acts are subject to change at any time.
