Shlomo the New Musical

Synopsis:
A musical celebration featuring over 40 of Carlebach's soulful and joyous melodies, SHLOMO the New Musical is the true story of the rabbi/troubadour who ignited the spirit of Jews around the world with his music, stories and boundless love. As a child, he narrowly escaped from Hitler's Germany. Once in America, his next Dramatic journey took him from the traditional yeshiva world to becoming the first emissary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. In his astonishing rise as a music star in the 1960s folk scene, he shared the stage with legends like Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, and the Grateful Dead. He reinvented the Jewish experience with 'the House of Love & Prayer', his hippie commune in San Francisco. Beloved and controversial, Shlomo traveled the world mending broken hearts through his boundless love and joyous music

Soul Doctor

Synopsis:
Soul Doctor tells the story of the beloved yet controversial Father of popular Jewish music, rabbi Shlomo Carlebach and explores his unlikely friendship with the "High Priestess of Soul" Nina Simone. Beginning with his childhood escape from Nazi Germany, the show takes us on a musical odyssey through the challenges and triumphs of this cultural phenomenon, as he becomes a rabbinical prodigy in America, discovers Gospel and Soul music during his unlikely friendship with Simone, and has a meteoric rise as a Rock Star Rabbi in the 1960s, performing with Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. This taste of stardom is a double-edged sword as Shlomo struggles with the personal conflicts of keeping his family together while traversing the globe, and reconciling his deep traditional roots with his desire to reach people of all backgrounds.
