The show “weaves together haimish wisdom and a hip modern sensibility to create an entertaining and touching two hours of comedy and song,” according to a press release. Ehrenreich, who was seen on Broadway in Dancin’, Barnum, and They’re Playing Our Song, took the plot from his own memories of growing up, which range from “his parents’ survival of the Holocaust to his stickball recollections in Brooklyn to his Catskill Mountain memories.” At left, Ehrenreich and director Jon Huberth are seen after the opening night performance of A Jew Grows in Brooklyn. Below, cast member Ray Josephs, musical director Elysa Sunshine, Ehrenreich, and cast members Ted Kooshian and David Solomon celebrate the new musical at the show’s opening night party.
