Picon Pie to Close June 2nd and Tour

The acclaimed new play with music, PICON PIE, Rose Leiman Goldemberg's delectable and joyous celebration of the life and loves of the legendary Yiddish star Molly Picon, now starring Tony Award nominated June Gable, with Stuart Zagnit, will play its last performance at the Lambs Theater (130 West 44th Street), on Thursday, June 2nd. Tour dates around the country are now being firmed up.

The beloved Molly Picon was undeniably the biggest Yiddish star of her day. Known around the world, Picon began winning prizes for her amateur acts at the age of five and didn't stop. Throughout the 20th Century, she sang and danced her way across continents and into hearts of the world. But Molly had her secrets. In PICON PIE, the "real" Molly tells them all as Broadway and television star June Gable brings Molly to life in a tour-de-force performance celebrating eighty years of Picon's life, from her unrivaled international success to her private hopes and dreams, from her intense fight for personal and professional survival to her passionate and private life-long partnership with her manager and mentor Jacob "Yonkel" Kalich (Stuart Zagnit).
