Goldstein has announced that it will play its final performance on Sunday, May 20, at the Actors Temple Theatre. At the time of its closing, the new musical by Michael Roberts (music and lyrics) and Charlie Schulman (book) will have played 10 previews and 52 regular performances.

Goldstein is described as follows: "Louis Goldstein has written a tell-all family memoir. While it is a best-seller, his family claims that it isn't true. Goldstein goes back in time to uncover 90 years of secrets, sacrifice, and love lost and found. This original musical is a celebration of the challenges and triumphs of an immigrant Jewish-American family."

Directed by Brad Rouse, with musical staging by Sarah O'Gleby, the creative team includes Jean Kim (set design), Maureen Freedman (costume design), Andrew Griffin (lighting design), Raymond Schilke (sound design), Sinai Tabak (music director), Michael Cassara (casting), and C. Renee Alexander and Alex Elmaleh (stage managers).
