Synopsis:
Inspired by Nobel Prize winner I.B. Singer's whimsical tales of Chelm, the Village of Fools, this theatrical "jolt of Joy" features rollicking klezmer music, slapstick comedy, and a grand tale of mistaken identity. This musical, the hit of last season's Robert Brustein Residency, is fun for the whole family!

Conceived & Adapted by Robert Brustein
Based on the Play by I.B. Singer
Music by Hankus Netsky & Zalman Mlotek
Lyrics by Arnold Weinstein
Directed by Nick Olcott

REVIEW
Schlemiel The First
Robert Brustein's adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer's Yiddish folk tales is an unusual mix of broadly played ethnic humor and vibrant klezmer music.
