WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LOX:
BROADWAY'S BASHERT
APRIL 16-18, 2027
DELRAY BEACH, FL
Broadway's bashert Julie Benko reflects on how portraying a surprising number of Jewish leading ladies on the Great White Way—including in Funny Girl, Ragtime, Harmony, and Fiddler on the Roof—turned her into an unexpected representative for Jewish women in the musical theatre community, and in the process, reshaped her own Jewish identity. Backed by her husband, pianist and composer Jason Yeager, Benko weaves personal storytelling with songs from musicals ("I'm the Greatest Star," "Tomorrow," "If I Were A Bell"), original music ("One Step Closer"), and selections sung in Yiddish and Hebrew ("Tumbalalaika") to craft an intimate, soulful, funny, and celebratory evening. With A Little Bit of Lox offers a rich exploration of identity, artistry, and the many beautiful ways there are to be Jewish, both onstage and off.
