The Doctor's Back: Tickets Now On Sale for Off-Broadway Return of Soul Doctor

Tickets are now available for the off-Broadway return of Soul Doctor. The musical, which features music by Shlomo Carlebach, lyrics by David Schechter with additional lyrics by Carlebach and a book by Daniel S. Wise, will begin at The Actors Temple on November 25. Opening night is set for December 14.

The bio-musical tells the story of the beloved yet controversial father of popular Jewish music, rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, and his friendship with legendary jazz singer Nina Simone. As a “Rock Star Rabbi” of the 1960s, Carlebach struggled to harmonize his traditional beliefs with the “free love” generation.

Casting for the off-Broadway production will be announced at a later date. The tuner, which originally premiered in the summer of 2012 at the New York Theatre Workshop, played Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre in 2013 with a cast led by Eric Anderson and Amber Iman.
