Based on The New York Times best-selling memoir by Eddie Jaku, this “powerful and magnificent new work” (BroadwayWorld) tells a remarkable story of survival, revealing a paradox of joy built on a foundation of grief.
Underneath his warm optimism, Eddie had long hidden painful memories of coming of age in Nazi Germany and his remarkable escapes from three different concentration camps. As his new friends, he invites us on his journey through the unimaginable horrors he faced, his struggle to bury the past, and how he discovered the key to truly living.
In this triumphant performance by stage and screen veteran Kenneth Tigar, Jaku’s story of resilience and kindness is testament to the indomitable strength of the human spirit as he declares himself “The Happiest Man on Earth.”
