MAGICAL MUSICAL MYSTERY FOLLIES  by Carol Kaufman Segal

    The West Coast Jewish Theatre, under the direction of Howard  Teichman, recently presented its Magical Musical Mystery Follies online.  Audiences had the opportunity of watching a very entertaining show with a variety of talent, from musicians to singers, comedians, magicians, and actors. 

    Performers included vocalist Sarah Spiegal, known for songs from the past (30's and 40's), beautiful cantorial music by soloist Kimberly Haines, vocalist Melissa Brandzel singing songs from Broadway, and Bob Brandzel performing klezmer music, and also guest Cantor Marcelo Gindin

    An excerpt from Neil Simon's The Prisoner of Second Avenue was performed by Actors Richard Epcar and Ellyn Stern. Ruthie Lane sang more show tunes, Actor/Writer Shelly Kurtze performed an original piece he had written for the show about an issue facing the Jewish community.  Comedy was performed by Sunda Croonquist, Magic Castle Magician Victor Benoun performed magic and illusions, and The Los Angeles Jewish Symphony and Choir, performed under the direction of Dr. Noreen Green.

    Magical Musical Mystery Follies, with Howard Teichman as host, was presented online on Saturdays April 24, May 1, and May 8.  If you missed it when it was presented, you are in luck because it is going to be offered again online in the near future for View on Demand.  Keep watching for it because you won't want to miss this two-hour offering of it when it returns.
