Onions and Garlic
Book and Lyrics by Paula Simons and Celia Taylor
Music by Dave Clarke
Fringe 2017
“It’s a tale as old as Zion and as warm as the Sea of Galilee and certainly worth 45 minutes of your time. And, yeah, be sure to bring the kids.” – Colin MacLean for GigCity (4 stars)
“Onions and Garlic jumps with tap dancing, musical numbers, funny accents, a fine collection of Yiddish insults, and gratuitous references to the green onion cake. Like a well-spiced dish it finds a magic place that works for five year-olds, tweens, and parents who are occasionally wounded by children’s theatre.” – Todd Babiak for 12thNight
