About the Show

Vineyard Theatre's critically acclaimed production of playwright Paula Vogel and director Rebecca Taichman's play about a controversial Yiddish show transfers to Broadway.

'Indecent' is based on the real-life events surrounding the Broadway debut of Sholem Asch's 'The God of Vengeance,' considered to be a seminal work of Jewish culture by some, and a piece of traitorous libel by others. Peppered with popular songs of the era, this play charts the history of that incendiary work, the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it, and the evolving identity of the culturally rich community that inspired its creation.

Absorbing, Edgy, Intelligent, Resonant, Thought-provoking

See it if You can!

Don't see it if You'd prefer a more straight-forward plot-driven show. Scenes repeat, there are subtitles, and it can feel slow, but it's totally worth it!
