Re: Musicals/Jewish content: Purim

[Bob Wiener <wiener...>]

Aside from Manger, there's Cantor Robbie Solomon's "The Orphan Queen."  Don't 
know what productions there have been, but there's a 2 CD recording.

Maybe Western Wind will give us a Purim Story.

  I've wondered why a true Story of Esther musical hasn't been mounted on or 
off Broadway.  The story and charachters lends themselves well enough.

  Conversely, has anyone attempted to compile  or do a "best of" from the 
wealth of Purim material acros the wrorld, eityher spiel or music related?

  Thoughts?
