Move Over, Charlton Heston
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.”
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
