THE GRAND MUSIC HALL OF
ISRAEL [Revue/Hebrew and Yiddish/Israeli] CN/D/CH: Jonaton Karmon; P:
Madison Square Garden Productions and Hy Einhorn; T: Felt Forum (OB);
1/4/73-1/14/73 (15)
The third Israeli music and comedy revue brought to New York
by director-choreography Jonaton Karmon, this show was an assortment of musical
numbers presented by a small troupe of talented soloists backed by an
attractive, 18-member chorus of singers and dancers. The latter were especially
appealing in their frequent numbers, for which they continually changed
costumes. Yiddish, Hebrew, and English were used, the latter for a funny
monologue by American comedian Myron Cohen.
The selections were eclectic and dealt, among other things,
with aspects of life in Israel. Howard Thompson was charmed by the performances
and celebrated the show in glowing review that epitomized its joy and warmth as
“delightful.”
