Don’t Cry For Me, My Yeshiva

Celebrating NYC Pride Month, the award-winning Don’t Cry for Me, My Yeshiva is a 90-minute musical memoir about a lifelong search for family, love, acceptance, and that elusive rainbow connection, written and performed by Joe Fox and directed by 23-time Manhattan Association of Cabaret’s award-winner Lennie Watts, with musical direction by Dan Furman. Part musical parody, part memoir, part love letter to Broadway, with reimagined show tunes, original songs, and razor-sharp storytelling, Don’t Cry for Me, My Yeshiva grows in part from Fox’s experience returning “back into the closet” while filming a 2009 documentary in Maine around a same-sex marriage referendum. A story of identity, family, and acceptance, told through music and memoir, this unforgettable evening follows his journey from the yeshiva classroom to the most unexpected of places, promising an evening of laughter, recognition, and standing-ovation-worthy joy. Also featuring Camille Diamond and Karen Steinberg.
