Romeo & Juliet (adapted in a Jewish-style) at the American Sephardi Federation/Center for Jewish History

Singer, composer, impresario David Serero's latest work, a Jewish adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, is a clever, slightly contemporized performance of the theatrical classic. Seen through a Jewish lens of an  Ashkenazi Juliet and a Sephardi Romeo, the production combines English, Yiddish, Ladino and Russian song, with drama, humor and requisite sword play. Performed by an energetic cast, and highlighted by Serero's operatic performance, the show's all-to-brief run will be at the Center for Jewish History, in New York City, thru June 23.
