A comic operetta written in 1923 during the heyday of Second Avenue, The Jewish Broadway
Synopsis: Di Goldene Kale (The Golden Bride) is a 1923 comic operetta Written in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan and Viennese Operetta with elements of klezmer, Jewish cantorial music, Eastern European folk music, ragtime and jazz. Di Goldene Kale was the hit show of the 1923 season, running for 18 weeks at Kessler’s 2nd Avenue Theater (a 2,000 seat house in the heart of the “Jewish Broadway”). This run was followed by national and international tours and had several revivals through the 30’s and 40’s. The first act is set in Russian Jewish village (shtetl) where Goldele, a poor young lady who was abandoned as a child has learned that she has inherited a fortune from her father who had gone off to America shortly after her birth. She is suddenly pursued by every young man from her village, including the handsome university student Misha who she is in love with. But Goldele announces that she will marry whoever can find her long lost mother. The second act brings Goldele and several of her friends to America where they are adapting the hustle and bustle of life in New York. The would-be grooms converge, but which one of them has found Goldele’s mother and with it, the hand of the Golden Bride?
