Is there a God? Is it Alexa? Does it matter? Is "Zionism" bad, good, or misunderstood? Seders are about more than just the Four Questions; they're about the bigger questions that haunt even this contemporary, cannabis-toking family. To pull off an ensemble of this size without compromising each character's unique voice and journey (while funnily and poetically exploring life's biggest mysteries) is nothing short of a coup. The pace and rhythm and structure and imagery are all enviable. You do not have to be Jewish or love/hate jalapenos to love this play--but it wouldn't hurt. Simply fantastic.

Exquisitely-crafted play with regards to characterization, theatricality, and structure! As a theatrical event, the bold and distinctive characters barreled through a raucous and charged Seder at a breakneck pace, punctuated by brilliant tempo shifts. Levitsky-Weitz balanced the irregular rhythms of natural human speech with spare lyrical poetry and bombastic stage images that I won't soon forget. I was amazed at how each character was so distinct in the sizeable ensemble, and the weighty conversations about family, faith, tribalism, Zionism, identities of various kinds, tradition vs. progress, and many other topics were so impeccably executed. Hilarious, dark, electric, magical, awe-inspiring.

Dark and sad like a fish charred in the oven, but also funny in a way that hurts good like fresh jalapeño. This play finds the mystical in our modern pain and elevates us all. These characters get high and spirits sink as ritual becomes unclear and divisions become the new tradition.

The language of this play drunkenly sings along with Bob Marley and by the end, you feel warmed across centuries by the wonder of the burning bush and comforted by the fact that not even Alexa knows the answers to life's deep questions.
