A concert of the new musical "Damascus Square" will be performed at the United Nations on Thursday, September 6, 2012 at 5:30 pm.

"Damascus Square" is inspired by the story of Eli Cohen, the famous Israeli spy who worked for the Mossad in Syria in the 1950s and 1960s. It asks to whom we owe our loyalty – our country, our family, or ourselves?

Tovah Feldshuh, Brad Oscar, Etai BenShlomo, Adam Overett, Laura Shoop and Robert Stearns will be performing at the United Nations.

The Old Vic Tunnels in London, England has also announced it will be the first presenting venue of "Damascus Square" during its Autumn 2012 calendar. The Old Vic Tunnels is the sister theater company to The Old Vic Theatre, whose Artistic Director is philanthropist Kevin Spacey.

Shai Baitel has conceived "Damascus Square" and co-written the book, lyrics and music together with Oran Eldor and Sarah Hirsch. The concert at the United Nations will be directed by Austin Regan and will feature videos by Video Art Director Guy Romem.
