Critical reception
The musical was reviewed by many publications following its openings in New York and Miami[14].Barbara Siegel in Theatre Mania wrote in her review: "The story is going to be compared to The Jazz
Singer, but the engaging and often moving new musical has a good deal more thematic depth that its
predecessor."[15] Lisa Klug's review in Jewlicious.com concluded: "With plenty of good Jewish
perspectives on the comedy of life, it had me laughing, singing and clapping ... it's so good ... [and] is
only going to get better and better."[16]
Frank Scheck, in the The New York Post, praised Eric Anderson'sperformance, writing: "Eric Anderson
beautifully suggests Carlebach's soft-spoken, gentle appeal, as well as the charisma that jolted him to
stardom. Erica Ash is equally superb as Simone, whether quietly conveying the singer's fierce dignity or
delivering stunning versions of signature classics such as "Sinnerman."[17] Jason Zinoman also praised
Anderson's performance in The New York Times, writing: "Transforming from a mild-mannered rabbi into
a kinetic dynamo, Anderson imbues his numbers with their own arc, often starting in a meditative mood
before slowly building to a joyous, leaping roar."[18]
