Dean Friedman's
CHANUKAH CONCERT FOR KIDS!!!
Singer/songwriter/recording artist, Dean Friedman, known to popular
music lovers for his top-40 hits Ariel, Lucky Stars and McDonald’s
Girl, will be performing his Chanukah Concert for Kids in the
NY/NJ/CT area this Chanukah season, 2004. Friedman is joined on stage by a cast of
performers and a giant potato latke puppet.
The Chanukah Concert for Kids is an hour long, music filled, fun
Chanukah celebration featuring Larry the Latke (a dancing potato latke), an assortment of
silly props – huge dreidels and menorah – and colorful costumes. The show
includes lots of silly Chanukah songs such as, If I Was A Dreidel, Love
My Latkes and Some Say Chanukah, plus local Hebrew School favorite, A
Million Matzoh Balls.
The Chanukah Concert for Kids emphasizes audience participation
for the kids, according to Friedman, “We bring lots of kids out of the
audience, dress them up in costume and they help us perform funny skits and act
out the story of Chanukah. There are plenty of silly sing-alongs too. We like to
get everybody involved.”
There is also always the possibility of a guest appearance by
Friedman’s old Hebrew School teacher, the learned scholar, Rabbi Schlamazel,
who reportedly hails from the tiny Russian village of Chelm. Rabbi Schlamazel
(who bears a striking resemblance to Friedman in a long grey beard) is purported
to be the wisest rabbi in the world although this is a fact that is difficult to
confirm as he’s always getting lost and tends to be somewhat forgetful.
The Chanukah show, in its 14th year in production, has proven
to be a popular favorite with kids throughout
the NY/NJ/CT area.
