I regret that I haven't heard Liz Swados' Jewish theatre pieces. I
admire her work.
I saw one of her secular musical theatre pieces a few years ago (can't
recall the title) and heard some of her Jewish settings for 3-voice
women's chorus (gospel-style) here at the Seminary also a few years
ago. I enjoyed both evenings but the Jewish choral pieces were
especially heart-felt and extremely musical. Great trio of Jewish
singers as well.
I'll just use the occasion to gratuitously remind one and all that "Women
of Valor," from Liz's BIBLE WOMEN, is on OPEN THE GATES!, from me (just
reply e-mail) or from
cdbaby.com/openthegates
--Robert Cohen, who saw Liz's RUNAWAYS in person, from a *front-row*
orchestra seat (which really worked, for this show), and loved it
