A
MATCH MADE IN MANHATTAN – THE INTERACTIVE JEWISH WEDDING EXPERIENCE
now settled in to their open-ended engagement at Levana on the Upper West
Side, is pleased to announce a special guest appearance by Rabbi Shmuley
Boteach, the radio talk-show host and author of Kosher Sex. Rabbi Boteach will appear on Monday, August
9th ONLY; the show will continue to play every Monday night at
7:30pm.
From
the creators at Black Box Entertainment - the company that brought you the
acclaimed touring shows Twist of Faith, Second Chances, and the
current hit national tour of Destinations, A MATCH MADE IN MANHATTAN
involves the audience in all the revelry of a traditional Jewish wedding -- and
much more! This wild and crazy affair features hors d'oeuvres; the ketubah
signing; the bedeken; the chupah ceremony; an elegant,
Glatt-kosher three course meal with champagne toast; riveting drama; and more
laughs and tears than any other wedding you've ever attended! Traditional
and original music performed by Avi Kunstler, Mitch Kahn, and
rock-blues-country violinist Jonathan Miller, as well as traditional dancing,
round out the evening's affair.
Manhattan Jewish
Sentinel writes “Instead of Tony n’ Tina, it's Leah and
Sam...the lunacy inherent in any Jewish family make for an unforgettable
evening.”
“Fun, family, and food
mingle seamlessly...a superb improvisational cast!” says The Jewish Voice.
And Time Out New York
agrees, “the performers are adept ad-libbers and the meal is actually quite
tasty.”
Starring Off-Broadway
actress Deana Barone, comedian/actor Reuven Russell, and Israeli stage and
screen star Caroline Langford, A MATCH MADE IN MANHATTAN features
fourteen of New York's finest improvisational comedy performers bringing to
life a colorful cast of characters led by Leah, the insightful bride from a
strictly Orthodox home, and Sam, her groom, a now Kabalistic ex-punk
rocker. We all know what Jewish families can be like, so come meet,
mingle and celebrate with all the relatives - who could be your own - and watch
the sparks fly!
So
join us for the most hysterical and joyous evening of professional
theater...that's both kosher AND delicious!
