A group of Forward donors will see the new Broadway show that everyone is talking about.
On February 25, we’ll have a delicious lunch, executive editor Dan Friedman will lead an exclusive discussion with the play’s author Itamar Moses and then we’ll all go to see “The Band’s Visit” — the best new musical of 2017.
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT
Based on one of Israel’s most celebrated movies — the multiple Ophir-winning “Bikur HaTizmoret” (“The Band’s Visit,” 2007) by Eran Kolirin — the musical features Tony Shalhoub (“Monk,” Samuel Beckett’s “Happy Days,” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) and Katrina Lenk (who recently starred in “Indecent”), with a book by Itamar Moses and a score by David Yazbek (“The Full Monty,” “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”).
