Aleichem Sholom! follows the life of the beloved Yiddish story-teller and his mespoche, spinning tales of his loves and losses, his fame and his failures, his travels, his travails and the tremendous joy and optimism that kept him going against all odds.Audiences are treated to an in-depth look at the joyous and poignant events that inspired the foolish philosophers, philosophical fools, comical shtetl folk and not-so-comical scoundrels that populated Sholom Aleichems world. Based on Sholom Aleichems letters and stories, the controversy surrounding his stories and plays, and his passionate involvement in the creation of a new homeland coupled with the personal recollections of those who knew him first hand, Aleichem Sholom! is written by the internationally acclaimed team of Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie, with lilting songs by Ben Weisman (57 gold records).It is said that Sholom Aleichem wrote from dawn till dusk, his pen never still, the characters swirling and whirling about in his mind, dancing from his thoughts to the page to the hearts of readers all over the globe. In addition to being the father of modern Yiddish literature and one of the most widely read authors of all time, he was also a great lover of music, a lyricist, a poet, a speaker, a mischief-maker, the class clown, a romantic in spite of himself, and a consummate mimic. The celebrated musical stars veteran performer Chris DeCarlo, who once again assays the role of the beloved author, a characterization which has been enjoyed by more than a quarter of a million audience members, and Evelyn Rudie, who has created and portrayed more than three dozen Sholom Aleichem characters in over 2,000 performances to date. Written by and Starring Chris DeCarlo* & Evelyn Rudie* Music by Emery Bernauer, E. Rudie and Sholom Aleichem himselfCostume Design by Ashley Hayes Lighting, Video & Set Design by James Cooper Stage Manager George J Vennes III
