How about "To Live Another Summer, to Pass Another Winter"
This is one of the most ambitious Broadway shows  being that it came from 
Israel with music composed by Dov Seltzer "with additional songs by NAOMI 
SHEMER". The Play was originally in Hebrew and was translated by David 
Paulsen.
the director and choreographer was Johnathan Karmon of The Karmon Israeli 
Dance Troupe who released some folk dance LPs on the ORIGINAL Vanguard label 
(available on 2 CDs) .

The entire cost of "To Live..." was from Israel, and starred two of the top 
Israeli artists of the time, Rivka Raz and Aric Lavie. The soundtrack was 
released on two LPs...the associate producer of the show was Neil Bogart..who 
gave us DISCO!!!
