Featuring leading theater stars, the production Shabbat on Broadway was an inclusive experience that blended prayer and inspirational show tunes – the first time a Shabbat service has taken place on the Broadway stage. Produced by Amanda Lipitz and Henry Tisch, with creative and liturgical input by Cantor Schwartz, this event fostered a sense of togetherness during a challenging time for Jews worldwide.
It began with a video of NYC cantors convened by Cantor Schwartz, who sang Hinei ma Tov to "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," which was quite fitting for an event taking place at the St. James Theatre, the site of Oklahoma’s original premier.
Cantors on this video (in order of appearance):
Azi Schwartz, Mira Davis (Park Avenue Synagogue); Jenna Pearsall (Central Synagogue); Irena Altschul (Temple Israel); Daniel Singer (Stephen Wise Free Synagogue); Mo Glazman (Temple Emanuel); Shiree Kidron (Or Olam); Shimon Smith (Romemu); Shayna De Lowe (Congregation Rodeph Sholom); Todd Kipnis (Temple Shaaray Tefila); Natasha Hirschorn (Ansche Chesed); Olivia Brodsky (East End Temple); Luis Cattan (Sutton Place Synagogue)
Music: Richard Rodgers, arr. by Oran Eldor, Hebrew setting by Cantor Azi Schwartz
Music Director: David Enlow
PAS AV Team: Oscar Acevedo, Terrell Simms, Oli Jung, Erik van Batavia, Justin Goodman
Video Editing: Silent Dog Pictures
