Review of Passover Dreams

Why is this program different from all other programs? "Passover is like theatre," says Theodore Bikel in the introduction. And producer James Meltzer has created a very theatrical meditation with this "Seder at the end of the universe," full of humor and history as it relates the tradition of celebrating a seder to the here and now. There are many surprising elements like guests such as Albert Einstein and Frederick Douglas and sharing gifts of sound. The large ensemble of voices are wonderful, the scripting excellent and the whole production polished. A joy to listen on this sunny spring morning!
