New Yiddish Rep’s “Seltzer Nights” will shake things up this spring!
Sat, May 9, 2015, 7pm
Castillo Theatre
543 W. 42nd St.
NYC
Tickets are $35. Call Ovation Tix at 866/811-4111, www.newyiddishrep.org or visit the Castillo Theatre box office, 543 West 42nd Street.
An audacious new show headlined by the preeminent Yiddish vaudevillian Shane Baker and starring a cast of tens will shake things up at New York this winter. “Seltzer Nights” recreates the bawdy, boisterous and often back-biting atmosphere of a Yiddish music hall on the Lower East Side of a century ago, but with much better acoustics. Staged as an immersive theatrical cabaret, this star-infested variety show features a who’s who of the booming downtown Yiddish theater and music scene. “Seltzer Nights” dusts off some of the more risqué songs and comedy routines of the time as well as some of the more blatantly theatrical moments of popular melodrama that were all the rage on the Yiddish rialto. Summoning up the spirits of legends like Molly Picon, Jenny Goldstein, Jacob Adler, Boris Thomashefsky, Dzigan and Schumackher, and Fanny Brice, “Seltzer Nights” will keep you up at night. Just like a good pastrami sandwich!

We are embarking on a weekend artist-in-residency in Connecticut! In the town of Madison, near New Haven, there is a beautiful temple that has invited the ensemble to do 3 performances. Friday night Klezwoods will perform at the service. On Saturday at 7:30pm the larger ensemble will put on a concert. And on Sunday morning they will put on a Children's program playing traditional and new Klezmer/Eastern-European music, teaching about the roots of this music and where it is going.
