MINI REVIEW

This Tony Award-winning musical about an Egyptian band that mistakenly ends up in a tiny Israeli village exudes a moody, Chekhovian glow that is heart-rending. Not much happens – members of the band interact with townsfolk over one night – but they communicate in a way that feels authentic and unsentimental. The music emerges simply and naturally from situations, and the performances, particularly by Chilina Kennedy and Sasson Gabay as a cafe owner and the band leader, are full of warmth and honesty.
