THE ODD POTATO – The Broadway Album is the first Hanukkah musical intended to give Jewish families a cultural bridge with their non-Jewish neighbors.  This talented Broadway ensemble performs this heartwarming holiday story, suited for all ages, nationalities and religions.  All to benefit VARIETY – The Children's Charity.

Based on the true history of their family, Eileen Bluestone Sherman has penned the book and lyrics, with music by her sister Gail C. Bluestone. The Odd Potato is the story of Rachel and Sammy Levy, who want their grieving father to "snap out" of his depression so that they can celebrate Hanukkah the way they did before their mother's death.  When she sees an ugly, odd-looking potato at the grocer's, Rachel remembers her mother's favorite story of holiday cheer.  Using that potato and their imaginations, Rachel and Sammy manage to rekindle joy and laughter in their home and in their father's heart.  

The Odd Potato recording is a fundraiser to benefit Variety The Children's Charity. Variety is sometimes described as "The Heart of Show Business" because it was started by a group of theatre professionals in Pittsburgh.  

THE ODD POTATO – The Broadway Album may be purchased from select Borders Books, Tower Records, or online at http://www.theoddpotato.com
