About The Blue Violinist Over West End Avenue
The Stein family gathers on Manhattan’s Upper West Side to celebrate an engagement. But when their youngest son brings home his new girlfriend, the joyful occasion unravels as her views about Israel reveal (or reopen) old wounds, buried secrets, and divisions that may be impossible to overcome.
As a mysterious blue violinist watches over them, three generations must confront what it means to remain a family when the people they love no longer see the world in the same way.
Inspired by the spirit of Sholem Aleichem's Tevye, The Blue Violinist Over West End Avenue is a funny, provocative, and deeply moving new play about family, faith, identity, and the enduring—and sometimes fragile—power of love.

The play was ostensibly about a family divided over Israel and Palestine, but the playwright kept channeling Fiddler on the Roof—complete with a dream sequence, a cow, and, yes, a fiddle. The storyline was amateurish and utterly predictable.
The theatre is an inviting intimate experience. I went for the theme and to explore the perspective on a very, timely, emotional, topic. I got more than I expected. Beautiful acting spoke to the heart. Going to see it another time soon.
A must for every Jewish New Yorker
