A JEW GROWS IN BROOKLYN Makes Its LA Premiere
American Jewish University becomes home February 16 - March 6 to the Los Angeles premiere of the hit show A Jew Grows in Brooklyn, which has been playing to rave reviews and sold out audiences throughout North America.A smash hit in New York City where it played for a more than a year and a half in the heart of the Broadway, the show chronicles the life of the show’s author and star Jake Ehrenreich, a uniquely talented American born child of Holocaust survivors. From the streets of Brooklyn and struggle with his family’s past, to the laughter and rebirth of Catskills summers, this multi-media musical is “A delightful journey that speaks to anyone hoping to live out the American Dream" (ABC TV).
Through stories and songs, performed with a live band and multi-media video and photos – including a classic Rock Medley (California Dreamin’, Secret Agent Man, Sunshine of Your Life), a multi-instrumental version of Louis Prima’s Sing, Sing, Sing, and even a selection of Yiddish songs – Jake recreates his unforgettable journey of discovery and lessons learned.
