Santa Monica Playhouse to Host THE HEBREW HILLBILLY - FIFTY SHADES OF OY VEY!, 3/7
Growing up Jewish in the redneck South, Fisher says, "My first grade teacher called me a Hebrew Hillbilly. Everybody's life is filled with ups and downs, highs and lows."
The show features 15 original Memphis inspired blues, rockn'roll and pop songs written by Shelley Fisher, Harold Payne and Ken Hirsch (musical director and keyboard accompanist).
The Hebrew Hillbilly Fifty Shades of Oy Vey! is a stunning musical journey that celebrates diversity, dreams and determination to never give up. At the core of this hilarious and poignant play is finding purpose beyond The Hollywood Sign!
The show is filled with original songs that takes the audience comedic ride though Fisher's rock n'roller coaster life and is an event not to be missed. Many of the featured selections can be heard on Fisher's new CD Rockin' in Memphis! (available at CD Baby and at RockininMemphis.com).
Watch a short video to hear this song birds' rock'n solid voice bringing down the house!
