Musical

MOSES! A SCHTICK in TIME

Imagine a musical where nothing is sacred or kosher: where Moses confronts conspiracy theories that say he's all washed up, where a power-hungry King Solomon locks horns with Moses in a battle for control of Heaven's Justice Department, where they both beam down to LA in a race to save an historic synagogue, and a celebrated drag queen who should have inherited King Solomon's kingdom is already leading the charge to save the shul and a beloved tamale factory. This is Moses like you've never seen him before-in Boyle Heights, Beverly Hills, and poolside on the Westside. Get your tickets, 'Get Your Moses On', and get ready to laugh, because Heaven knows.....we could all use a good laugh.
