See it if you'd like to hear every sung word of this part-genealogical, part-autobiographical presentation delivered with honesty, humor and visuals.
Don't see it if you do not like one-person shows with one theme or you are not interested in learning about Jewish heritage.
See it if Wonderful Jewish storytelling w/music & slides. Daniel plays and sings about past generations of his family. I laughed & cried.
Don't see it if You don't like solo cabaret shows. It's very Jewish, with an audience of old folks. Daniel's voice is unpolished, but delightful. Read more
See it if Judaism interests you. Daniel Cainer writes clever and heartfelt song lyrics about his family and their history. He also teaches Yiddish.
Don't see it if you are expecting a play. There are lots of characters and interesting themes but no plot. To fully enjoy the show you have to clap & sing!
See it if Return of 4th gen orthodox Brit Jewish cabaret extolling fam tree, travels and a bad rabbi on his "Yamalka(Yamaha)."In Loft w/ some Yiddish.
Don't see it if "Shofar/Bong/Purim/Schmear/Naomi was an ordinary Jewess; by looking at her, you wouldn't have to guess/There are no Jews in Recklinghausen" Read more
See it if You want a song cycle of family stories & the Jewish immigrant experience. You like solo shows in intimate settings. You want humor & heart.

See it if Because you will experience a joyous & moving celebration of the performer’s family & Jewish heritage. I thoroughly enjoyed this show.
Don't see it if You have no interest on the topic of Jewish heritage. Read more
See it if You are Jewish + enjoy nostalgic stories about the history and culture of Eastern European Jews. You are not Jewish but enjoy the above.
Don't see it if You don’t enjoy solo shows. You have no interest in Jewish culture or history. But I suggest see it anyway you might learn something !
See it if you "get" Jewish culture and want a charming new perspective. This isn't "Fiddler on the Roof". These characters are real imperfect people
Don't see it if you don't understand Woody Allen movies.
