Folksbiene Yiddish Theater

New York Times: "GILBERT AND SULLIVAN’S song “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General” may be one of the most repeated and parodied melodies in musical history. Only last month, the NBC series “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” updated the lyrics to poke fun at the fictional sketch-comedy show where its characters work: “We’ll be the very model of a modern network TV show.” But in 127 years, no one has done a full-blown production of the entire operetta from which it comes, “The Pirates of Penzance,” in Yiddish."
