Every year we get a delightful Christmas show but what about my fellow Jews? Where is our musical? Where is our Hanukkah spectacular? The Rockettes don't light and dance on a giant menorah and they should. I want a musical where little Mordecai dreams of getting Tallit but is told its too dangerous and he'll strangle himself.

We are a hugely misrepresented people this time of year and it's time we stood up and demand a show we can go to and bitch about the high price of tickets.

Yeah right, let's revive The Rothschilds, I Can Get It for You Wholesale, and What Makes Sammy Run-- it's obviously pure bigotry that's left those classics off the boards all these years!

Jordan: It may be off-broadway but it's absolutely hilarious!! Go see it!! It IS a Hanukkah show!

But I agree there should be a Broadway Hanukkah spectacular.

I call BS. How many Christmas Shows (and songs) on Broadway were or for the most part, created by Jews?
Let us also look at the long list of Broadway Producers and writers. Broadway does not hate Jews. Ask them why there is no Hannukah Holiday Hoedown Spectacular.

If someone wants to write the music I'd write the book.

And no, that is not me. I wish. Lol

Maybe you can buy the rights to all 3 versions of the Hannukah Song and Christmastime For the Jews from SNL. Ooh, then you can get Darlene Love to star in it.

Jewish brethren do not believe in the new testament, so therefore do not celebrate Christmas.

Jews are the reason why we are here right now, they just didn't find the the ten commandments, they also were the founders of musical theater.

So why can't Buddy the Elf be a Jew? Why doesn't the Grinch (or Judi Dench for you, Growl) steal Hanukkah? Huh???.

You could have a Jewish Christmas Spectacular, circumcise Santa and make the Rockette's wear a yarmulke in the Matchstick Men scene.

Leave Santa alone. He lives in the North pole and needs all the "coverage" he can get.

Just listen.

"Potato knish."

"Figgy pudding."

Which would make you shell out your shekels?

I say we won't go until we get some!
