From Fanny
Brice, Irving Berlin and Jerome
Kern to Barbra Streisand, Alan Menken and Tony
Kushner, Jewish performers, composers, lyricists,
directors, choreographers and producers have made
an indelible mark on Broadway for more than a
century. This historical volume captures the story
of the Jewish emergence from immigrants in ghettos
staging Yiddish productions on New York’s
Lower East Side to their significant social and
cultural
impact on the stages of Broadway. Includes insights
and anecdotes from a life spent working with
many of the Jewish legends of American theater.
