“It’s a terrific opportunity to showcase the talents of a very good cast and I am very happy to be working with the other performers for this one-night benefit revue,” says Jonathan Kaplan.
Mr. Kaplan adds, “A revue featuring the Jewish contribution to the American Musical from Berlin to Bernstein and beyond is a wonderful idea with a very broad appeal and benefits a really good cause. Audience members of all backgrounds and different levels of exposure to musicals will have a great time.”
The Jewish contribution to the musical goes well beyond Jewish themes. “They Changed Broadway” features hand-picked songs from Broadway’s iconic musicals woven into a two-hour, one-night benefit revue featuring well-known performers.
“We’re thrilled to have someone of Jonathan C. Kaplan’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. For ticket information visit http://www.theychangedbroadway.blogspot.com/.
