SOUL DOCTOR is a new universal musical - at 79 East 4th Street Theater, presented and conceived by Jeremy Chess..
It is an uplifting, beautifully written story about dreams, love success,
music and singing. I cried, I laughed, and danced in my seat to
the joyous songs and music of Shlomo Carlebach. Called "the
singing rabbi", Carlebach opened for BOB DYLAN, JOHN DENVER and deeply touched the life of the legendary NINA
SIMONE, whose dream was to play in Carnegie Hall.
During his life, he wrote over 2,000 songs and recorded 25
albums.  Nina Simone helped him change the course of his
life, and he helped her change the course of her life.
This is a "feel good" play, about love, relationships , and pursuing
your dreams, taking us from Vienna,  Greenwich Village, San
Francisco to Jerusalem. It is a wonderful voyage to be on, book
your ticket now while still in previews.
