“The Whole Megillah: The Story of The Yiddish Theatre” covers the moment of its birth in Rumania in 1876, to its rapid spread across the Western Hemisphere, to its meteoric flowering into a Golden Age – a flowering that would last but a few short decades and carry the seeds of its own destruction. It’s an amazing story, full of twists and turns that are – like Yiddish theatre itself – sometimes outrageous, sometimes poignant, but always melodramatic. Charles Troy, an acclaimed musical theatre historian, squeezes these twists and turns into one packed program – the whole megillah – punctuated by klezmer music that mirrors the soul of a vibrant but distant era.
