“Why have Jews dominated the entertainment industry? How is it that so many writers, composers, performers, directors and producers are Jewish?
THAT’S JEWISH ENTERTAINMENT presents a cornucopia of Jewish talent, with song, dance and comedy spanning decades of Jewish life. From the shtetls of Eastern Europe to Broadway. From Yiddish folk songs to Hollywood blockbusters.
It’s been a long bitter-sweet journey, and on the way contributors to this entertainment heritage are artists such as:
THE MARX BROTHERS / FANNY BRICE / WOODY ALLEN / MEL BROOKS / BARBRA STREISAND
JACKIE MASON / JERRY HERMAN / SID CAESER / JOAN RIVERS / BETTE MIDLER
…and many, many more!
A CENTURY OF JEWISH ENTERTAINMENT – IN ONE SHOW!”

Review by Richard Lambert, 5 Stars
What a wonderful mix of songs, stories and entertainment from this pitch-perfect troupe! With solid choreography from Adam Scown and beautiful lighting from Ben Rogers you’ll be tapping and singing along to all these well known favourites! With harmonies to die for and fast-paced staging the performance ends too soon leaving you wanting much more! With the same team who brought us “The MGM Story” Chris Burgess brings a great mix of story-telling to bind the musical numbers into cohesion.
Not a show to miss, you’ll want to come again and again!
