A Jew Grows In Brooklyn

A Jew Grows in Brooklyn is a touching, poignant and hilarious new musical comedy about an immigrant family, the search for identity and one boy’s desire to be a "regular inner-city kid". This delightful and unique multi-media show was a record-breaking smash hit in the heart of Broadway, and the release of a book based on the show by the Chicken Soup for the Soul publishers will coincide with the Canadian premiere in April.
 
From his family’s survival of the Holocaust, to stickball in Brooklyn, to summers in the Catskills, to his mother's and sister’s heartbreaking early-onset Alzheimer's disease, the incomparable Jake Ehrenreich and four fabulous singer/musicians take you on a “delightful journey with joy, tenderness and heartbreak,” (WOR New York). You’ll love this hopeful and inspiring hit show that the New York Times called “Dazzling, funny, beautiful and touching” and that has been playing to critical acclaim and standing ovations across the United States.
 
From his mothers Yiddish lullabies to “the cleverest 'sixties rock medley you’ll ever hear” (critic Jon Sobel), and a “beautiful medley of Christmas songs” (New York Times) audiences and critics agree that A Jew Grows in Brooklyn “has a glow all its own” (Chicago Tribune) and is “a winner... engaging, poignant and hilarious!” (Palm Beach Post).
