‘Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad’ Comes to Cape May Stage

 

By Herald Staff

CAPE MAY — “Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad” is a refreshing mix of comedy, music, spoken-word and show-stopping burlesque, featuring the gals who learned to smoke at Hebrew School, got drunk at their Bat-Mitzvahs and would rather have more schtuppa than the chupah, featuring performers seen on Comedy Central, HBO and Late Night TV.
These badass chosen chicks boldly dare to deconstruct years of tradition, expectations and guilt in a fast-paced vaudeville extravaganza. It’s ain’t yo’ mama’s Fiddler!
After cruising the U.S. for six years, last year Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad opened at The Zipper Theater in NYC with a brand new show which received rave reviews – 3 stars- NY Post, Backstage called it “a spontaneous party” and the Village Voice said it was “super fun.”
This rendition of mishagas on wheels was directed by Michael Baron (Signature Theater, DC) and choreographed by Jessi Erian (Urban Bush Women and Adira Amram’s The Experience).
It’s Faster Pussycat in the Borscht Belt, “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” gets remixed, Tumbalaika gets a makeover and we all find out what’s in Gefilte Fish. It’s “Fear Factor” for Jews, although you don’t have to be Jewish to love these broads.
Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad features comedian Rena Zager (Comedy Central), Robin fox and booty shakin’ by Sister Schmaltz Shakers and hosted by queen of the quick change, The Goddess Perlman (Last Comic Standing).
Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad has been spreading their own brand of nuevo schmaltz across the land to sold-out crowds in NYC, DC, Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, Pittsburgh, Madison, Detroit, Montreal, Burlington, Provincetown, The Berkshires, The Hamptons, and of course, The Catskills. Audiences can’t get enough of these wayward girls!
See Nice Jewish Girls gone Bad, Tue., August 31 at 8 p.m. at Cape May Stage, Robert Shackleton Playhouse, corner of Bank and Lafayette streets. Call
(609) 884-1341 or go online: www.capemaystage.com
Tickets are $25.
