WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Donna Murphy is nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical!
Once the darling of the Yiddish Theatre in pre-war Poland, now a grandmother in New York City, Bubbie (Donna Murphy) has had quite a life. But what will it all mean if she can't pass on her stories to the next generation? Though her granddaughter is enchanted by her tales, her daughter Red will do anything to keep from looking back. A fiercely funny and deeply moving new musical that spans three generations, The People in the Picture celebrates the importance of learning from our past, and the power of laughter.

The People in the Picture
I was truly touched by this production. The beginning of the first act was a bit confusing, but once I understood the unfolding drama, I was captivated by the storys universal appeal. This play is about family and the seemingly impossible decisions that sometimes must be made. I laughed and was often moved to tears. And when it was all over, I found myself thinking of the characters as if I had truly known them. I recommend this play to anyone who enjoys a hearty laugh and a good cry.

Other than the creation of the State of Israel, the greatest and most profound reaction to The Holocaust has been the extraordinary outpouring of art that has attempted to come to terms with this horrible event, from The Diary of Anne Frank to Cabaret to Schindler's List. The most recent attempt is Iris Rainer Dart's, Mike Stoller's and Artie Butler's heart-stopping new musical,
The People in the Picture, now being presented by the Roundabout Theatre Company at Studio 54. It asks us to take a hard look at the suffering and the loss that resulted from this tragedy -- and it moves us deeply in the process.
