A fascinating and entertaining talk exploring Jewish composers and lyricists in Musical Theatre, from the early 20th century through to today. Together we will learn about the Jewish roots of Musicals and the life stories of the visionaries who shaped the genre and influenced it, in ways both visible and invisible. How did these artists’ Jewish heritage find its way into their creations? What was the wider societal context of their groundbreaking work, as experienced then and re-examined now? Alongside historic and cultural analysis expect many delightful viewings of songs and scenes from the repertoire of these Jewish legends. Stav holds a BFA in Musical Theatre and will occasionally weave her musical skills into the program – and you, too, are invited to sing along!
