They were showing the movie of this performance in my city over Chol HaMoed. I went this afternoon and really enjoyed it! I'm so happy I went.

Did anyone see it live?

Gorgeous singing, amazing dances, unbelievable acting! Each character played her part so well - I loved Rivky's stereotypical character (the fancy Boro Parker) as well as Tamy (the Lakewood kollel wife who just seemed a bit too perfect). They set the scenery for Yael (the Yerushalayim kollel wife) so perfect - it really looked like an Israeli mirpeset.

The only thing I didn't get, though, and wished they would have clarifyed, was what was Mindy's misunderstanding of her date's smoking? Didn't he say that "everyone smokes?" The chassuna scene was so beautiful and lifelike! [And her mother on the show - Leah Forster!] As a big fan of Abie Rottenberg's music in general, all in all this was great!

I too watched it today 4 the 1st time, it was aaaaamazing! I agree about the smoking part. Pretty exaggerated.

I saw it last year and was so in love that I went back again this year. I wish I could get a copy of it but the ads said it won't be sold. the voices were stunning! (and my personal 2 favorites was the Yerushalayim video and song plus Sfashkenaz. I had tears streaming down my eyes during both!)

I was also confused by the ads saying they weren't selling it and then guess what, they're selling it. Maybe they meant they weren't selling it at that point.

The money is going to (unfortunately) a very worthy cause.

okay I got it. Okay one question. 10 years ago they were 18 but somehow the Lakewood lady has 8 children most of them over 3 but none of them look like multiples. How did she achieve that nes? [: (just call me obsessed)

It's really great. The only thing I don't like is the stereotypes. Every woman in Lakewood is a Kollel wife and if you're in Boro Park you're going to be steeped in gashmius and you don't have clothes dryers in Israel. Otherwise I'm enjoying it. All these talented ladies and doing this all for an amazing cause as well. I'm glad I got it.

I watched it over Chol Hamoed and loved it, especially the stereotypes. That Rivky character had me ROTF, as well as Leah Forster (as usual), the Lakewood ladies and their "yeshivishe shprach", etc. etc. Great entertainment, I highly recommend it!

I just bought it! Can't wait to see it again. I was disappointed that the DVD came without credits- I don't know who any of the actresses are (though I seem to remember that at the beginning of the show they went through the credits quickly.)

The story line is great too, especially the part where the lakewood woman inherits the money and you expect her life to change.....

The script is very well written.

Really? I wonder if Malky Knopfler is going to be in it. I thought she was hilarious. It was also funny because I had just seen her in the Simchas Beis HaShuavah concert and here I was seeing her again. It's like when you never see somebody and then you keep on seeing them? I'm getting addicted to this cd btw. I put it on when I'm doing work.

Another vote for fabulous kosher entertainment.

It's just super. The stereotypes are so comedically played, it's a panic. Rivky had me laughing all the way through. They all did a superb job.
