Picon Pie

The acclaimed new play with music, Picon Pie, Rose Leiman Goldemberg’s delectable and joyous celebration of the life and loves of the legendary Yiddish star Molly Picon, moves to the Lambs Theater! Now starring Tony Award nominated June Gable, with Stuart Zagnit. Directed by Broadway Veteran, Pamela Hall.

Born in NYC in 1898, the beloved Molly Picon was undeniably the biggest Yiddish star of her day, and that day was long. Known around the world for her colorful performances, Picon began winning prizes for her amateur acts at the age of five and didn’t stop. Throughout the 20th Century, she sang and danced her way across continents and into hearts of the world. But Molly had her secrets. In PICON PIE, the “real” Molly tells them all as Broadway and television star June Gable brings Molly to life in a tour-de-force performance celebrating eighty years of Picon’s life, from her unrivaled international success to her private hopes and dreams, from her intense fight for personal and professional survival to her passionate and private life-long partnership with her manager and mentor Jacob “Yonkel” Kalich (Stuart Zagnit).
