"This show is brilliant mostly because it touches the real lives of the real people, our ancestors, many of whom moved through this neighborhood or those like them. The quality of the music and singing may lack in technical detail until you actually listen to the meaning and the substance of the experiences it sings about ! No flowery fluff here, this music reaches right into our grandparents lives and reflects their real lives in a way that captures the hardships and the triumphs which might soon be lost without this performance. And yet so much of it resonates even today as the Melting Pot that is the source of American strength, even as the faces change the process remains the same.If your ancestors came through Ellis Island or even if not, your friends and neighber probably did. If is a timeless tale that makes us all better for the telling. Get the music, see the show, and see the show again !!"
