Neva Small Slated for Neve Benefit Revue at the Forum Theatre in Metuchen

Metuchen, New Jersey – 03/09/2010 – Neva Small, currently performing off-Broadway in her cabaret show NOT QUITE AN INGENUE is slated to perform in the Neve Shalom benefit revue “They Changed Broadway” at The Forum Theater Arts Center, June 13, 2010.


“I am flattered Michael Colby asked me; happy that I am able to work this show into my calendar, and looking forward to working with Michael Lavine and the other performers,” says Neva Small.

Ms. Small adds, “A benefit revue featuring the Jewish Contribution to the American Musical from Berlin to Bernstein and beyond is a wonderful idea with a very broad appeal. I’m sure the audience will have a great time.”

The Jewish contribution to the musical goes beyond Jewish themes. “They Changed Broadway” features hand-picked songs from Broadway’s iconic musicals woven into a two-hour, one-night program featuring well-known performers.

“We’re thrilled to have someone of Neva Small’s talent agree to perform in ‘They Changed Broadway’,” says Hope Seratelli, Neve Shalom board of director and fundraising manager.

The revue offers something of unique value to an audience that reaches beyond its 500-family membership expanding its fund-raising activities that benefit Youth and Elderly, Meals on Wheels, Save the World Committee, and the Edison-Metuchen-Colonia-Woodbridge and surrounding Middlesex County, NJ community at large.

“They Changed Broadway” will be on stage in Metuchen, New Jersey June 13th, 2010 at the Forum Theatre.
