What if God and the Devil joined forces and wrote a play? Lucius Bielzy and Joshua Gottfried, two old friends and theatre impresarios caught in an eternal love/hate relationship, rendezvous in a theatre to present a night of 5 short morality plays. Imagine a confused Adam and Pandora, a man claiming to be Joseph McCarthy, hoping to cast the first stone, a middle-aged woman in spiritual meltdown, bordering on the obscene, a modern-day Job caught in the battle over free will, and a dead man, unable to move on to his new future because he cannot face up to his past. A humorous and poignant look at mankind’s relationship to the cosmos.

Omar’s musical Bielzy and Gottfried was presented in July of 2014 as part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival and received a nomination for outstanding production of a Musical. One of the reviews said of that show, “a witty beginning, and a thought-provoking end, Bielzy and Gottfried proved to be a charming and meaningful piece which managed to make the Bible less dry and more dry-humored.” Other reviews of the show said, “a fascinating show that asks difficult questions” “good laughs, fun music, and thought provoking messages” “tugs at the audience’s heartstrings”.

This romp through the Cinderella story features a Cinderella who would rather clean than go to the ball, a miserly king, and a fairy godmother on the verge of a breakdown.
