From its record breaking, award winning run in the heart of Broadway, Jake Ehrenreich comes to bergenpac with this newly minted version of his hit comedy musical A Jew Grows in Brooklyn. The New York Times hails "Brooklyn is beautiful, touching and funny - like Billy Crystals 700 Sundays" and New York Magazine raves "Poignant and hilarious - haimish wisdom with a modern sensibility".

From the streets of Brooklyn and struggle with his family's survivor past, to the laughter and rebirth of a Catskills nightclub - with music, humor and multi-media - Jake Ehrenreich mesmerizingly recreates his unforgettable journey - now made more famous in his critically acclaimed bestselling book by the Chicken Soup for the Soul publishers.

Directed by NY theater veteran Jon Huberth, The LA Times declares "Ehrenreich's insight is engaging, elegant and thoughtful" and Broadway World raves "Run, don't walk. One of the most uplifting evenings one can spend in the theater." The Miami Herald offers "somewhere two loving parents are kvelling over the son who did them proud."
