NYC: NEW ELIZABETH SWADOS MUSICAL IN CONCERT PREMIERE
"Rachel and Leah," a new musical composed by the Tony nominee Elizabeth Swados, and written by Rebecca Keren and Daniella Rabbani, gets its New York concert premiere at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 ) on Sunday November 20th at 9:30 pm. A musical about the Biblical matriarchs, "Rachel and Leah" features Keren and Rabbani in the title roles. Leah Bonvissuto directs, while Kris Kukul is the music director. The project, which received readings at LaMaMa E.T.C. last year, has been augmented to its current 80-minute staged concert version by producer Moishe Rosenfeld. Set in ancient Iraq, "Rachel and Leah" tells the story of inseparable twin daughters who become rivals when each falls in love with Jacob, a man who has come to work for their father Lavan. Despite his preference for one of the daughters, Jacob marries both women, in this deeply moral story about the impulses of attraction, love, and marriage. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
