And the campaign to get Elli on Broadway begins! Danny Burstein as 'Tevye'... and Elli as his understudy and Lazar Wolf!

I can't get in...

I was also there last night and Andy was amazing. Comfortable as if he'd always been there doing that role.

Dear averagebwaynut, I am anything but naive when it comes to being a Shomer Shabbos Actor (SAG-AFTRA/AEA Card holder here) living in a non Shomer Shabbos world. The challenges are great and sometimes difficult to understand. Friday night is indeed THE night for Entertainment for Americans and yes, sadly there are Jews among those who go out. I still think that this could be pulled off. I do realize that mounting a show on Broadway is a multimillion dollar undertaking these days and yes, deep...

True and sad that Jewish performers do not all observe Shabbos. What a wonderful world it would be if everyone always did what they could be doing. The point I was making is that the Rabbis wouldn't allow the 'sale of the show' that I spoke about IF it would cause another Jew to NOT keep Shabbos. The onus would be on the shows owners to make sure that doesn't happen. Of course this refers to owners that are Observant and the responsibility they bear. One day, it will happen. Thought it would ...

Actually it COULD have been done, Double show Sunday and Wed and LATE show Sat night after Shabbos ends would give you an 8 show week. NONE of the previous incarnations of the show played on Shabbos or Holidays, and the plan WAS to do the same for the Broadway run. Just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean it couldn't be done. As for the comment about eating pork to save your life in a life and death situation isn't at all like opening a show on Broadway. That being said, getting the stor...

Since the producers and the director are Observant Jews, this would have been a great opportunity. If it opened on a Sunday you'd have a full week before taking Shabbos off.

While that was the original intent, to be the first Broadway show to not to perform on Shabbos & Yom Tov, the powers that be have somehow justified letting it go on like any other show. Not sure how they pulled that off. What a wasted opportunity. History and precedent could have been made.

I was there for that performance as well. Really enjoyed it! John Benjamin Hickey was also there!

Obviously, Ricky has NOTHING on me!

Really? Sister Act did QUITE well as did Godspell

Perhaps if I knew what you plan to use it for, the context, it might be easier to make a suggestion.

I got 2 tix for Sunday nite! Very excited!

Do you still have the ticket? please contact me at elli@thekingofbroadway.com thanks

WHAT? Mr. Uhry, excuse me - are you NUTS? Anti Israel Vanessa Redgrave (http://ht.ly/24V5j) to be on B'way as Miss Daisy? http://ht.ly/24V4S

Did anyone notice that the opening waltz has strands from "Woman In White"? Tell me you heard it too????

People, chill out. There is nothing wrong with promoting something for a good cause. I am sure you all delete these type of emails without even reading them. What comes to mind is that you HAVE to click and open a message board thread. If the subject doesn't interest you, simply pass it by! No reason to put more hate in the world!

Kudos to Robert J. Saferstein for the amazing Photos! He is truly an artist!

Just saw this at the Skirball last year, it's an amazing show!
