Big Night 2023: Broadway Comes to Nashville was a Hit!

Big Night Out 2023 was an entertaining evening and a great success. Over 200 people attended as Broadway came to Nashville. Guests entered through the Backstage door to an auction room to bid on interesting auction items and feast on appetizers and our own hummus board display. They enjoyed mingling as they strolled through Central Park, on their way to Broadway and the Pargh Theater. After an introduction and thank you’s from Board President Cindee Gold, and Hamotzi led by Rabbis Danziger and Strosberg, guests enjoyed a seated dinner catered by Chef Burke Conley from Takeaway Catering. Munching on black and white cookies from Stren’s bakery in Brooklyn, attendees settled down for the show, a musical review of songs written by Jewish composers and their mentees. Broadway stars Brandon Contreras, Morgan Karr, Marina Kondo, Anthony Lee Medina, and Alisa Melendez wowed the audience with their selections from musicals including Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music, Sunday in the Park with George, The Little Mermaid, Hamilton and Tick, Tock…Boom!.

Imagine that the Shtetl of Europe has been frozen in time, transported to New York, and then unfrozen. Imagine walking down the main street and seeing the Judaica shops, hearing the sounds of yeshiva students studying the Talmud, smelling the aromas of the freshly baked Challah wafting from the local kosher bakeries, while seeing signs in Hebrew and Yiddish and shuls at every corner, while the skyscrapers of Manhattan rise in the distance.
