Christmas is a universal holiday about family and unifying people. It’s a celebration! A Mitzvah! It is all about pure joy and the celebration of the human spirit. And surprisingly many of the beloved songs were written by Jewish composers. The play is a look at the 20th century North American immigrant experience and the extraordinary outburst of musical energy from the children of those immigrants. This new generation of songwriters wanted to feel like they belonged and showed the world how to make Christmas a holiday for everyone with lyrics about love, peace, family and togetherness - universal concepts. By creating integration through their music, they became irreplaceable players in culture’s mainstream while writing themselves into history.
