Shelley Fisher’s The Hebrew Hillbilly – Fifty Shades of Oy Vey! A “Spectacular!” theatre concert! at Santa Monica Playhouse

“Thanks to this talented lady from Memphis, TN - who is a dash of Mae West, and a pinch of Dolly Parton - the stage vibrates with her songs, anecdotes...and Yiddish charm.” SanDiegoTheaterReviews.com

In what might be the last Hebrew Hillbilly performance ever, Down Home Diva Shelley Fisher brings you her spectacular musical rock’n’roller-coaster ride, filled with humor and pathos, as this good southern Jewish girl fights prejudice and personal tragedy to fulfill her vision of helping the world celebrate diversity, dreams and determination.

“Fisher has a spectacular voice, worthy of a cabaret performance, along with a charming country drawl. She is the epitome of downhome charm meets urban sophisticate.” Examiner.com

Will the longest running solo musical in America come to an end on July 13? Don’t chance it, don’t miss it, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. On Sunday, July 13, 2025 at 6:30pm, treat yourself to a never-to-be-forgotten evening of musical theatre.

“Shelley Fisher rips the roof off with her bluesy, ballsy, autobiographical one-woman show – while ripping at the heart strings of her packed houses. Fisher's story of a good little southern Jewish girl with big rock and roll dreams gets fueled by 17 show-stopping numbers co-written with renowned hit makers, Kenny Hirsch (I've Never Been To Me, No One In The World), Harold Payne (Bobby Womack, Snoop Dogg) and Steve Rawlins (I Wanna Win a Grammy Before I Am A Granny; arranger for The Emmys, Grammys, Smokey Robinson and more).

And to top it off, the fabulous Miss Fisher is donating all proceeds to the “Save the Main Stage Fund” to help rebuild the iconic Playhouse auditorium that was destroyed in a water damage disaster one year ago. Share this uplifting, life-affirming, powerful musical with family and friends, celebrate the joy of live theatre, and help save the Main Stage, too! It’s a win-win-win for all.
