The Interactive Jewish Wedding Experience

Is Back – For An Open-Ended Run!

EVERY MONDAY EVENING BEGINNING ON AUGUST 2^ND

At The Renowned Upper West Side Restaurant

LEVANA (141 West 69^th Street)

July 27, 2004

Beginning Monday August 2^nd, A MATCH MADE IN MANHATTAN – THE INTERACTIVE JEWISH WEDDING EXPERIENCE will begin their open-ended engagement at the renowned Upper West Side restaurant LEVANA (141 West 69th Street). The show will 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! Tickets - which include a gourmet, three course Glatt kosher dinner – are $85.00 per person plus tax and gratuity.  A cash bar is open throughout the evening.  VISA/MC/AMEX are accepted. Doors open starting at 7:00pm, with a running time from 7:30pm to 10:30pm. Call SmartTix at (212) 868-8444 or log on to www.SmartTix.com to purchase tickets now.
