SUMMARY:How My Grandparents Fell in Love
DESCRIPTION:A Timeless Romance Blooms in the Shadow of History: “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” at NJ Rep\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Jersey’s vibrant arts scene consistently offers captivating experiences\, and this summer\, theater enthusiasts are in for a treat with the world premiere of “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” at the New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep) in Long Branch. This heartwarming new musical\, with book and lyrics by Cary Gitter and music and lyrics by Neil Berg\, promises to transport audiences to a pivotal moment in history\, all while celebrating the enduring power of love. \n\n\n\nUnder the skillful direction of SuzAnne Barabas\, “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” takes us back to 1933 in Rovno\, Poland. Here\, we meet Charlie\, a Polish-born Jew who\, after a decade in America\, returns to his homeland with a singular purpose: to find a bride. His journey leads him to Chava\, a spirited young woman working in a hat shop\, whose deepest desire is to become a scholar. Their burgeoning connection is the heart of the story\, a tender romance unfolding against the stark and unsettling backdrop of rising anti-Semitism across Europe. This historical context provides a powerful layer to their personal dreams\, creating a narrative that is both intimate and deeply resonant. \n\n\n\nThe production boasts a talented cast bringing this compelling story to life. Harris Milgrim steps into the role of Charlie\, while Becca Suskauer embodies Chava. Behind the scenes\, the creative team further elevates the experience: Jordan Ryder’s choreography adds an expressive dimension\, Aaron Benham leads the musical direction\, and the visual landscape is meticulously crafted by Jessica Parks (Set Design)\, Jill Nagle (Lighting Design)\, and Patricia E. Doherty (Costume Design). Nick Simone’s sound design\, Rose Riccardi as Production Stage Manager\, and Ian Duhart as Assistant Stage Manager ensure a seamless performance. Matthew Lowy serves as Music Supervisor\, with Janey Huber as Assistant Lighting Design and James Lockhart as Master Electrician\, all contributing to the rich tapestry of this production. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re looking for a poignant love story\, a glimpse into a crucial historical period\, or simply an exceptional theatrical performance\, “How My Grandparents Fell in Love” offers a unique and engaging experience. The show runs from July 17th to August 10th\, 2025. Performances are scheduled for Thursdays at 7:00 PM\, and Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays with both 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM showings. The running time is approximately 2 hours\, including a brief intermission. Please note\, the production carries an advisory for Adult\, Teen\, and Pre-Teen audiences due to adult language\, sexual themes\, and violence. \n\n\n\nThis musical delves into powerful themes of love\, resilience\, and the human spirit’s ability to endure amidst historical upheaval. Early critical responses highlight the charm and heartwarming nature of Charlie and Chava’s love story\, acknowledging the masterful way it interweaves with the looming historical realities. While the performances and musical elements have received significant praise\, the production is noted for its ongoing development in seamlessly blending its romantic core with the gravity of its historical setting. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss the opportunity to witness this impactful new work. Tickets can be conveniently purchased online directly through the New Jersey Repertory Company website\, or by calling 732-229-3166.
