This holiday season, the Wicked movie is captivating audiences and capturing the popular imagination. Many social commentators have noted the Wicked story mirrors the Jewish experience. Written by Jewish authors, the story features themes of discrimination, resilience and standing up for what is right. As Rabbi Cosgrove remarked in his introduction to this performance, “The measure of life well lived is if we follow our hearts and do what is right because it is the right thing to do and never because it is popular.”
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, book by Winnie Holzman
Adaptation and Singing by Cantors Mira Davis and Azi Schwartz
Music Director: David Enlow
Audio/Video: Oscar Acevedo, Terrell Simms, Justin Goodman
