November 4 to 6-The Wick Theatre Presents Avi Hoffman in the Uplifting Musical Milk and Honey;

Jerry Herman’s First Broadway Musical Celebrates Israel

Avi Hoffman

The Wick Theatre’s Season Nine opener is five-time Tony Award-nominated Milk and Honey, a sweet and inspirational musical full of romance and comedy. The Wick’s lively version stars New York Drama Desk Award-nominated actor and producer Avi Hoffman, who is renowned for his acclaimed performances that celebrate his Jewish heritage. Milk and Honey runs October 13 to November 6, 2022, with evening shows on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, and matinees at 2 pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Tickets are $79-$99 and are available at www.thewick.org or by calling the box office at 561-995-2333.  The Wick Theatre is located at 7901 N. Federal Highway. Boca Raton, Florida 33487

Featuring the first Broadway score written by Jerry Herman, who went on to pen Hello, Dolly! and Mame.  Milk and Honey tells the story of a group of American widows who travel to Israel with hopes of finding new love. Set against the backdrop of the country’s struggle for recognition as an independent nation, this production is bursting with hope and humor. Herman’s delightful score includes “Shalom,” “There’s No Reason in the World” and the buoyant title song. In this tale of the universal quest for love and connection, an American tourist named Ruth meets retired Baltimore builder Phil. They are immediately attracted to each other, but Phil, who has long been separated from his wife, is still married. The two must work their way through their circumstances and investigate their hearts to find the right answers against the thrilling backdrop of a newly born nation.

The Wick is proud to welcome back Avi Hoffman, who sold out the theatre with his summer event, Yiddish Tangos. Hoffman, who specializes in Jewish culture and Yiddish theater, will be starring as Phil. His long-running Too Jewish trilogy has been seen by millions on PBS and in venues around the world. He has produced and presented shows throughout North America, Europe, and Israel. Milk and Honey also stars Avi Hoffman’s real-life wife, acclaimed actress Laura Turnbull who will portray Ruth.
