Tonight: Lola Blau

This U.S. premiere is an opportunity for NY audiences to savor one of Europe’s “big little” musicals and its unforgettable holocaust themes. The piece depicts a rising, charismatic, Dietrich-style cabaret singer who is forced to flee Austria because of her Jewish heritage, taking refuge in the U.S. She makes do with “survival jobs” on Tin Pan Alley until her sensational return to her homeland after the war, when she discovers that nothing much has changed.
