What good are secrets if you don’t have anyone to tell them to? Thank heavens Louis Goldstein (Zal Owen) agrees. He has written a tell-all book about his family. And as the book becomes more and more popular (Pulitzer Prize! Oprah’s Pick!), his family denies many of the secrets revealed. GOLDSTEIN, A New Musical About Family, tells the stories of three generations of a Jewish American family. Original music by Michael Roberts and book by Charlie Schulman reveal the passions and the tribulations of a vast spectrum of situations – from a woman who immigrated to the United States and a man with a secret so deep from his Navy years that he carries it to his grave to a woman denied her dream because of her gender and a grandson struggling to reveal his sexual identity. And the underlying current emphasizes the bond of families through disagreements, disappointments, revelations, and betrayals. Although the truth may be viewed differently by individuals, the love runs strong throughout it all.

GOLDSTEIN is executed so effectively by a talented cast that you will find yourself laughing one minute and crying the next. You may even leave humming a song or two. Definitely worth seeing.
