Brilliant performances! Tolucan Times. Brilliant portrayals! broadwayworld.com. Follow the life of the beloved Yiddish story-teller as he spins tales of loves and losses, fame and failures, filled with the tremendous optimism that kept him going against all odds.

Rudie and Sholom Aleichem himself. The musical stars veteran performers Chris DeCarlo (“Chris DeCarlo has become the reincarnation of Sholom Aleichem” LASplash) and Evelyn Rudie (“Evelyn Rudie is an all-around theatrical wizard!” Casting Call). ‘Sholom Aleichem’ means ‘Hello, peace be with you.’ For Santa Monica Playhouse it means ‘richness in Jewish theatre for the community to enjoy.’ The Messenger
