The Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust will host a series of concert readings of When Zaydeh Danced On Eldridge Street from Thursday, November 17 to Sunday, 20, 2022.

Based on the award-winning picture book by Elsa Okon Rael, When Zaydeh Danced on Eldridge Street, starring Jordan Charney (Ghostbusters, Hill Street Blues) as Zaydeh, is a family musical that tells the story of Zeesie (played by Annabelle Wachtel) - a bright, inquisitive girl on the Lower East Side of New York City in 1935 - and what surprises await her and her very stern grandfather on Simchat Torah when they go to shul together.

The one-hour readings - which will be presented both in-person and virtually - also will feature Joanne Halev, Jacob Harran, Scott Harrison, and Samantha Helmstetter. Following the reading at noon on Friday will be a talkback with Lyricist and Director Shellen Lubin, Composer and Musical Director Matthew Gandolfo, and some of the actors.
