While we cling to our personal "Traditions" just as Tevye did in Fiddler on the Roof, Rev. Meredith explains that they can stand in the way of our accepting our need for a Savior.
Earlier this week I brought back the audio of one of my favorite conversations from the vault. Today, the full video version is here.If you missed the audio episode, here's the short version: in 2018, Mariana Ramirez became the first female Mexican percussionist to ever perform on a Broadway show, subbing Once On This Island. A year later she held the percussion chair on that show's national tour. Then came sub work on Head Over Heels (drumset book) and Ain't Too Proud, plus Off-Broadway runs of Merrily We Roll Along and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish.Today she holds the percussion chair at the hit Broadway show SIX.But watch this interview and you'll see the chair is just one piece of a much bigger career.Mariana began her studies at the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico City, where she won the percussion position at the Carlos Chávez Youth Orchestra, then earned her Bachelor of Music at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, picking up the Percussive Arts Society Thomas Siwe Scholarship along the way.She founded Percussion Quartet Excelsis — the first multinational all-female percussion quartet in the U.S. — which Jonathan Haas, head of the NYU Percussion Department, called one of the most innovative and exciting ensembles of this era of chamber music. Excelsis has performed twice on NPR's From the Top, at the Zeltsman Marimba Festival, Tippet Rise in Montana, and the Newport Classical Music Festival, and in 2024 the group received Chamber Music America's highest grant.Her recording credits include Platinum Girls and Song of Solomon on Broadway Records, and a concerto for bandoneon and violin with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. She has performed with the National Symphony of Mexico, the first all-women orchestra of Mexico, and premiered new works at Alice Tully Hall. She's appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and in Mozart in the Jungle. She won the FONCA grant for Mexican artists twice in a row, touring an original percussion-and-dance project across five Mexican cities. She teaches. She's endorsed by Sabian, Pearl, and Innovative Percussion.Traditional Mexican music. Symphony halls. Chamber ensembles. Television. Education. And eight shows a week on Broadway.Nobody builds a career like that by waiting for the phone to ring. Watch the conversation and you'll understand exactly how she did it — starting with a Santana concert in Mexico City when she was 11 years old, watching three percussionists light up a stadium and deciding, right there, what her life was going to be.Watch the full interview above.The audio version is available now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify if you'd rather listen on the go.And coming up next on the podcast: Spencer Inch. Stay tuned — that one's going to be worth the wait.For the complete roadmap to building a career in theater, grab Broadway Bound and Beyond at broadwayboundbook.com.Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Ten years to the day. Three fans who were at Rogers Arena for Vancouver night two tell the story - the tickets, the Fiddler's Green goodbye, and the night a one-year-old slept through history.Episode SummaryUncharted waters - we never do third ones. Vancouver, night two. July 26th, 2016. Rogers Arena, the third stop on the Man Machine Poem Tour, and the night The Tragically Hip opened with Fully Completely - just like the set-list sleuths predicted. Ten years later, Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour gathers three fans who were in the building: Craig from Langley, Tina from Prince George, and Jay from BC - currently in Ottawa, so probably working for CSIS. We're careful what we say.The ticket stories run the full range. Craig and three coworkers all hit Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. sharp and every one of them scored - no bots, no drama. Tina borrowed a friend's Amex presale code, landed 13th row at the back, then got a phone call: Ryan was trading her his row seven, side of stage seats, because the bigger fan deserved the better view. Jay missed Victoria for a high school reunion, struck out on Vancouver night one, and was mid-refresh with his whole family when his dad popped up with the last row of the lower bowl - exactly where he likes to sit.Then there's the night itself. Tina brought her daughter - the day before her first birthday - who took in the whole scene, collected high fives across the concourse, and fell asleep against her mom the moment the music started. The panel digs into the songs that hit differently: Craig's 'So Hard Done By' that suddenly wasn't funny, Jay's 'Fifty Mission Cap' with Bill Barilko's ghost and the shiny hats, a 'Music @ Work' section that produced 'Toronto #4' - bonkers - and the 'Fiddler's Green' that became Tina's goodbye moment, her "hey man, thanks" to the band that got her through everything. Plus the 'Grace, Too' moment both nights: three minutes of guitar and an entire building screaming.Ten years on, the reflections go deep - how Long Time Running reframed everyone's memories, the Spirit of the West parallel at the Commodore, and Tina on what Gord's Kingston challenge to Trudeau has meant to the Indigenous community: a legacy that goes beyond the music. The word this panel lands on: gifted.The PanelCraig from Langley - 18 shows deep, first one in 1993 with his buddy Gord. Went to both Vancouver nights, predicted the Fully Completely opener in writing, and reunited with Dan, his old drummer, before the show.Tina from Prince George - Day For Night-era fan with the deep-cut lyric tattoo to prove it. Brought her daughter to the show the day before her first birthday; that kid is now a proud Gord Downie fan.Jay from BC - then working at the BC legislature in Victoria, now in Ottawa (no further questions). Walked out of Rogers Arena and bought Calgary night two, because this couldn't be his last.Timestamps00:00 - Welcome: officially into uncharted waters01:59 - The person you think about: Tina's daughter, one day shy of her first birthday02:47 - Craig reunites with Dan, his old drummer05:30 - Hearing the news: gutted at work, glued to the Sunnybrook press conference06:25 - Craig's on-sale: four coworkers, four wins, zero problems07:44 - Tina's Amex presale and the row-seven trade from Ryan09:57 - Jay: a muted newscast, a missed Victoria date, and dad grabs the last row of the lower bowl15:50 - Songs that hit different: 'Daredevil' both nights, 'So Hard Done By' not funny anymore18:27 - Tina: earmuffs, the crashing-waves interlude, and realizing this is the last time22:45 - Jay: the 'Fiddler's Green' surprise, 'Fifty Mission Cap', and 'Toronto #4'28:36 - The outfits, the set-list formula, and touching all 13 albums30:56 - Gord's memory, the lyric monitors, and showing up how he wanted to show up34:14 - The SNL performance, the Sheldon Cooper theory, and the emoting37:25 - When did it dawn on you?

Today's guest is one of the great voices of his generation — the theater kid who auditioned for American Idol with Michael Jackson, watched the judges' faces fall, and demanded a second song because he'd just quit his job and had no health insurance.

Think you know everything about Jewish matchmaking from Fiddler on the Roof? Think again! While the beloved musical frames arranged marriage as "tradition" and romantic love as its modern antidote, scholars argue the reality was far more nuanced — and in some ways, exactly the reverse of what the show depicts. In this episode, guest scholars Naomi Seidman, Elisheva Carlebach, Shulamit Magnus, and Ayala Fader, along with host Jeremy Shere, discuss the history of Jewish matchmaking and matrimony from the early modern period to the present day. Together, they explore how marriage functioned as an economic institution in Ashkenazi Jewish communities, who the matchmakers really were, and the role love played in the process, along with a look at matchmaking in contemporary Hasidic communities, where many of the old traditions live on.
Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal today!What happens when our prayers become so filtered and "spiritual" that we lose the raw honesty of what we actually desire? In this episode, Jaime and Alana take a 180-degree and head straight to Broadway. They dive into the concept of the musical theater "I want" song, using Tevye's famous track "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof as a surprisingly profound template for prayer. They discuss the danger of censoring our conversations with God, the freedom of bringing our most "frivolous" desires to Him, and how peeling back the layers of wanting money or status often reveals a pure, God-given need for security, respect, or peace. Alana highlights how teaching middle schoolers about Disney character motivations led her to realize that every superficial desire has a deeper "prayer behind the prayer." Meanwhile, Jaime gets remarkably candid about a recent camping trip, unpacking her own guilt over wanting to look good in a swimsuit and tracing it down to a beautiful, core desire to remain healthy, strong, and capable of caring for her family. Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on stripping away the "judgy Christian hat" that shames women for wanting a financial cushion, beautiful spaces, or basic human respect. From the reality of a mother's innate drive to provide, to Tevye's ultimate wish for simply having the time to sit and pray, they offer a refreshing perspective on approaching God exactly as you are—without pretending to be someone you aren't. Whether you are stressing over your bank account, feeling guilty for caring about your appearance, or simply longing for a more conversational, authentic relationship with the Lord, we hope this episode encourages you to stop editing your prayers, uncover the true desires of your heart, and confidently bring your uncensored self to the Father.

In 2018, Mariana Ramirez walked into the pit at Once On This Island as a sub and made history. She became the first female Mexican percussionist to ever perform on a Broadway show.Nobody handed her that moment. She built it.I first published this conversation in March of 2022, and it remains one of my favorites. Most of you weren't subscribed back then, so I'm bringing it back — the story is too good to leave in the archive.Who is Mariana Ramirez?Mariana is an NYC-based freelance percussionist who began her music studies at the National Conservatory of Mexico in Mexico City before earning her Bachelor of Music in Percussion at Rutgers University.That first Broadway sub gig at Once On This Island opened doors. She went on to sub Head Over Heels and Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, then hit the road holding the drums/percussion chair on the Once On This Island national tour. Off-Broadway, her credits include Merrily We Roll Along and Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, among many others. Today, she is one of just two female Mexican drummer/percussionists performing on Broadway.But her career stretches far beyond the pit.She has performed across Europe, Asia, and Mexico with Mexican traditional music bands, symphonic ensembles, chamber orchestras, and pop bands. You may have caught her on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, in the series Mozart in the Jungle, or at the NBC Universal Upfronts at Radio City Music Hall.She also founded Percussion Quartet Excelsis, which Jonathan Haas, head of the NYU Percussion Department, praised as one of the most innovative and exciting percussion ensembles of this era of chamber music. Excelsis has performed twice on NPR's From the Top, at the Percussive Arts Society New York Weekend of Percussion, Brooklyn Bound with Sō Percussion, Zeltsman Marimba Festival, and Tippet Rise Music Festival in Montana. The group is endorsed by Sabian Cymbals.As a symphonic percussionist, she has performed with the National Symphony of Mexico, Orquesta de Minería, the first all-women orchestra of Mexico, Dartmouth Symphony, South Florida Symphony, New England Ensemble, Fairfield Orchestra, and most recently with The Dessoff Choir, premiering works for choir and orchestra at Alice Tully Hall.Traditional Mexican music. Broadway pits. Symphony halls. Chamber ensembles. Television. That range is not an accident — it's the career.In this conversation, we talk about:* The Santana concert in Mexico City that made an 11-year-old girl decide, on the spot, what she wanted to do with her life* Her path from the National Conservatory of Mexico to Rutgers to New York* What it took to break into Broadway subbing — and what it meant to be the first* How versatility across genres and settings keeps a freelance career aliveAnd when you're done with this one, keep an eye on your inbox. Up next on the podcast: Spencer Inch. You won't want to miss that conversation.For the complete roadmap to building a career in theater, grab Broadway Bound and Beyond at broadwayboundbook.com.Broadway Bound and Beyond isn't theory. It's twenty-six years on Broadway broken down into what actually works: how auditions really get decided, how reputation gets built or destroyed, how money works in this business, why versatility keeps you employed, and what it takes to last decades instead of one season. If you want the full career picture, the hardcover is at broadwayboundbook.com.If subbing is specifically your way in, the book gets you the mindset and the etiquette, but the Broadway Sub Playbook goes further. It's the actual system: the four-week prep formula, the show-day routine, how to take notes that stick, how to handle a pit you've never sat in before. It's built for one job — getting you ready for that call when it comes — and it's the resource a lot of working subs wish they'd had before their first one.Grab both at signaturebrandworks.com.Clayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre. He is also the founder of Broadway Drumming 101 and the author of Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career.His Broadway credits include Memphis, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud, and Cats: The Jellicle Ball, with additional credits spanning tick, tick…BOOM!, The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, and subbing on Rent, Motown, Evita, Avenue Q, and the Hadestown tour.Clayton has appeared on The View, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, and the Tony Awards.

She's the fiddle player you hear with Cracker, and we talk about the first night it clicked that turned into an open invitation to sit in and stretch out. Along the way, Anne explains what makes musical chemistry real: shared taste, trust, and the kind of listening that turns solos into a back-and-forth conversation.We get deep into the art of live improvisation and why it keeps a show from getting stale, especially when the set can change on a dime. Anne also tackles the difference between a violinist and a fiddle player, and how style and tradition shape the same instrument.From there, the story widens across projects like Gypsy Blue Review and Halo Rider, and touring with Taj Mahal and Keb Mo as part of TajMo, a gig she describes as a living education in music history.If you care about live music, real human creativity, and the stories behind the songs, listen through and share it with a friend who still believes the stage is sacred.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

Highlights: Our co-host Sholem Beinfeld, who is Professor of History, Emeritus, Washington University, St. Louis, gives a historic, and Jewish, perspective on the United States of America in observance of the upcoming 4th of July, 2026, holiday. Later in the program, we play a series of songs in honor of America written and performed by a variety of performers and songwriters. Our featured guest is Anna Halberstam Rubin, talking about her life, including her youth before and during the Holocaust, which she wrote about in her memoir Just a Little Girl: Despair and Deliverance (1993, 1994, 2018 AHR Books, Palo Alto). Anna was born in Poland but grew up in Slovakia, the daughter of Rav Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam, and the granddaughter of two rabbis, Rav Naftali Rubin of of Nowy Wiśnicz, Poland, and Rabbi Menachem Mendele Halberstam of Stropkov, Slovakia, The Stropkover Rebbe. During the war, Anna comes of age and narrowly escapes death on multiple occasions. Eventually, she makes it out of danger by joining one of the remarkable rescue convoys organized by Rudolf Kastner, escaping from Hungary to Switzerland. Her convoy was separate from the better-known Kastner train, which also brought Jewish refugees to safety, including the Satmarer Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum. After the war, she eventually moved to the United States and married Israel Rubin, a sociologist, a foremost expert on Hungarian Jewry and author of the book Satmar: An Island in the City. We spoke to Anna at the home of her daughter Haya Rubin in the Lakewood, NJ area in August, 2024.

Can a musical teach Torah? Why is Fiddler on the Roof beloved in Japan? The answers to these questions could have implications for the future of the Jews and their place in the world. Noam sits down with Jennifer Tepper, a theatre historian, and Etai Benson, a Broadway actor, to discuss the art of crafting stories, and the innovative ways in which Judaism has intersected with the stage. If you're interested in bringing Etai's new show, The Book of Steve, to your synagogue or Jewish space, write to MountCarmelProductions@gmail.com Jennifer Tepper's new book, Women Writing Musicals: The Legacy that the History Books Left Out is available here: https://a.co/d/00JNs0AJ Get in touch at WonderingJews@unpacked.media.

In this Father's Day episode of The Music in Me, I'm diving into the powerful, emotional, and sometimes unexpected ways musical theater portrays fathers and father figures. After doing a Mother's Day episode celebrating moms in musicals, I knew I wanted to continue the tradition and shine a light on dads this time around. In this episode, I explore songs that show the many sides of fatherhood—fathers dreaming about the future, fathers trying to connect with their children, fathers who aren't perfect, fathers who sacrifice everything, and the quiet beauty of watching children grow up. Some of these songs are longtime favorites of mine, and others were brand new discoveries I found while researching this episode, and I honestly fell in love with them. From classics like Les Misérables and Fiddler on the Roof to modern favorites like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, and Ragtime, each song adds a different layer to what it means to be a father or father figure. This episode is heartfelt, reflective, and deeply personal as I also take a moment to celebrate the important father figures in my own life. Whether you're celebrating, remembering, or simply reflecting this Father's Day, I hope these songs from musical theater resonate with you as much as they did with me.SONGS MENTIONED…· Soliloquy from Carousel· Dear Theodosia from Hamilton· Wheels of a Dream from Ragtime· To Break in a Glove from Dear Evan Hansen· Hey Kid from If/Then· Daddy Knows Best from SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical· Not My Father's Son from Kinky Boots· Like Father, Like Son from Aida· Dead Man's Boots from The Last Ship· Bring Him Home from Les Misérables· You're Daddy's Son from Ragtime· No Matter What from Beauty and the Beast· Something Was Missing from Annie· Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the RoofWhat did you think of this episode?

Desolation Island opens with bucolic absurdity - we've got Jack Aubrey on ‘Fiddler's Green', Stephen dissecting a fresh cadaver's hands before dinner, a catastrophic get-rich-quick scheme, and Jane Austen-style fibbing from almost everyone. Grab a glass of port and mind your poke—we're getting the band back together.

A Forest Of Whispering Speakers - The BookTwo writers. Ten years of trust. One Tragically Hip catalogue. Episode two is the story of how the book got written without flattening the band.Episode SummaryA Forest Of Whispering Speakers is the oral history of the Theatre Aquarius world premiere of It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken, the new musical built on the music of The Tragically Hip. Act II: The Book is the writers' room episode — how an exile's journey gets shaped into a story, and how Hip songs become the emotional grammar of that story without ever turning it into a band biography or a jukebox musical.Host jD sits down with co-writers Ahmed Moneka and Jesse LaVercombe, with producer Michael Rubinoff and Tragically Hip manager Jake Gold stepping in to frame the bigger picture. The episode opens at a campfire in Prince Edward County in 2015, traces the ten-year partnership that built King Gilgamesh and the Man of the Wild at Soulpepper, and lands on the two different doors each writer walked through to find The Hip — one across a bridge in Bobcaygeon, the other watching Gord say goodbye from south of the border.Inside the episode: the load-bearing wall of a decade-long friendship, the yin-yang of Ahmed's exile and Jesse's grief, a Thornton Wilder quote about platitudes, and a working theory that 700 people in a theatre cannot lie to you at once.Guest InfoAhmed Moneka (Toronto, via Baghdad) — Co-writer of It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken.

The conventional wisdom is that history doesn't repeat, it rhymes. With that in mind, we'll revisit two programs from an earlier time of uncertainty, when traveling was difficult amid world and family situations. We can become armchair travelers, and enjoy a grand variety of World music from all corners of the globe. In the first installment, we'll hear from the Finnish band Frigg, The Russian group The Terem Quartet, The Battlefield Band from Scotland, Itzhak Perlman and the Andy Statman Klezmer Orchestra and many more.
