What Matters Now

Tradition! The Israeli actor who got hooked on Broadway favorites


Listen Later

Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel.

This week we speak with Eyal Sherf, an actor, singer and cantor who specializes in everything related to Broadway, and in particular, its musicals.

The Israeli-born Sherf trained as an actor in England and New York, and has performed on various stages. He also realized early on that the performance aspect was just as interesting to him as the creative process of musical theater, delving into the work that went into the shows, their histories and putting that all together into shows melding information and music.

He now performs shows around Israel that combine performance and lectures, fulfilling his own passion for musical theater.

He takes us through several shows, from "The Sound of Music" and "West Side Story" to "Fiddler on the Roof" and a few others, discussing their histories, creators and why they still resonate so much, to this very day. 

Times Will Tell podcasts are available for download on iTunesTuneIn, Pocket CastsStitcher, PlayerFM or wherever you get your podcasts.
