Last year we attended a Folksbiene Theater production of Shlemiel the First at the Skirball Center in New York City. Now a new musical production by the Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theater called On Second Avenue has opened at the Segal Center for the Performing Arts in Montreal. The show pays tribute to the Yiddish theater and will be running from June 10 through July 1.
We're posting two videos about the show today. The first has two excerpts from On Second Avenue. The second video is a look behind the scenes narrated by the director, musical director, and some of the actors. As one of the actors says, "You can't go to the movies, you can't put on your satellite TV and see this. You've got to get off the couch, get into the car, come here and put your tuches in the seat and witness something live. What you're seeing is unique.
Enjoy!
