Comedy duo extraordinaire George Bowser and Rick Blue bring the deli's colourful story to the stage with a full cast of larger-than-life characters who call Schwartz's home, and some of the many customers who pass through its doors. Schwartz's: The Musical celebrates what makes us Montrealers with humor, wit and heart, while grappling with such issues as the smoked meat and pastrami debate, the food police, and the dreaded F-word: franchise!
