Relevant, Intelligent, Entertaining, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if You want to participate in a modern-day seder that attempts to address current issues while being immersed in an opera depicting the Exodus.

Don't see it if You don't like operatic singing. You don't want to participate in a seder.

Ambitious, Budget, Relevant, Intelligent

See it if you’re down for a play framed as a (modern-era) Seder in fifteen sections, interleaved with an operatic depiction of Exodus.

Don't see it if you want the modern-era plot to feel complete; you’d prefer top-tier special effects; you’re deathly allergic to the presence of walnuts. Read more

Ambitious, Clever, Absorbing

See it if you want a Passover Seder, some contemporary Bible debate, and a mini-opera based on millennia-old Jewish dramatic text, all rolled into one

Don't see it if you want something less ambitious

Impressive, Entertaining, Clever, Absorbing

See it if You like unique ambitious work. New music opera mixed with theater mixed with a live seder. All done very well, especially the music.

Don't see it if you are expecting a full meal. But for $35 you probably aren't. Also if you want to avoid touchy subjects like Jewish/Muslim relations. Read more
