If you’re planning on being around the downtown area, then buy your tickets (at a $5 discount from the door-price—what a bargain!) for Eight Days More, a very Les Misérables Hanukkah musical at 92Y Tribeca brought to you by the same folks as Everything’s Coming Up Moses (a very Gypsy Passover musical). Written by contributing editor Rachel Shukert and produced by executive editor Jesse Oxfeld, it’s the stirring musical story of the courageous Judah Maccabee (Seth Rudetsky), relentlessly hunted by the Hellenized High Priest, Jason (Matt Leisy). You probably get the idea. We anticipate a fun time had by all on the barricades.
