An internationally acclaimed, award-winning show honoring the songs and stories of Jewish composers and their contributions to the American Musical. Beloved melodies and lyrics by the likes of Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, and Carole King will transport you to the streets of the theatre district, your Bubbie’s Shabbos table, or your corner of the sky.

“What a thrill to bring this show, which is in many ways about the importance of legacy, to a theater so rich in artistic heritage. I hope to give Westport audiences a rekindled love, a fresh understanding, and a newfound appreciation of  songs we’ve all loved throughout the years.” – Ari Axelrod

“I’m  excited to expand our Script In Hand series into this new format for the first time, especially with Ari Axelrod taking the stage. There’s a good reason Ari’s show is so celebrated. It’s joyous, funny, revealing and ultimately, an extremely moving evening of theatre presented  by a master storyteller delivering some of the greatest songs ever written.” – Mark Shanahan, series curator
