Join us for the off-Broadway premiere of this original musical comedy, which explores a real-life psychological malady that causes tourists in Israel—over 200 every year!—to suffer mental breakdowns and suddenly come to believe that they are characters from the Bible. Meet an inept tour guide who turns into Moses, a professor in a troubled marriage who thinks she’s Abraham’s wife Sarah, and a resort tycoon with daddy issues who might be Jesus…not to mention multiple Virgin Marys and the Lord Herself. The Jerusalem Syndrome is an outrageous romp, but it is also a story of hope in which the characters come to see that today, just like in the times of their biblical alter egos, miracles are happening all around us.

The Jerusalem Syndrome

York Theatre Company

I may have seen a future Broadway smash hit today. The young cast was stellar — they already could be On Broadway rather than in college. The songs were excellent, the orchestra and conducting was excellent, the book worked. An after performance talk about the formation and development of the musical, with the author of Paperboy and all the talented people who created this musical, was a special treat.
