A musical version of the Moses story enjoyed a brief run at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles during the winter of 2004-2005. But for those who missed it, there is still hope.
A DVD version of the show, which is called “The Ten Commandments: The Musical” and stars screen idol Val Kilmer (right), is set to be released in November. Kilmer is no stranger to playing the role of a longhaired singing prophet; in 1991, he played Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s “The Doors.”
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
