Moses my Love September 14, 2011

"Moses, My Love," a romantic musical of the Exodus story by veteran composer/playwright Paul Dick, will be presented October 14 to 30, 2011 by Passajj Productions at Roy Arias Theatres, 300 W 43rd Street, Manhattan, directed by Marlene Thorn Taber. Paul Dick has penned over 15 Off-off Broadway tuners between the 60's and now; his last production was an operatic "Wuthering Heights, a Romantic Musical" at the Mint Theatre Space in 2010.

"Moses, My Love" arises from a deeply Jewish soul. Its overall tone is not like a "biblical epic," but up close and personal, to make the characters as human as possible. It's meant to make the audience comfortable with the story in a way that they feel, "OK, that happened." As a sign of the deep affection with which Jews of all ages have held Moses, the great man is called "Moses, my love" by his mother, Yocheved; his Midian wife, Tsiporah; and even by God when bestowing the Ten Commandments. The piece follows the book of Exodus pretty straightforwardly, although it is punctuated by light, comedic sequences.
