Louis Goldstein has written a tell-all family memoir. The book is a best-seller.
But is it true? History becomes personal in this uplifting and heartwarming,
multi-generational exploration of the challenges and triumphs of an immigrant
Jewish-American family. This original musical reminds us that families are
complicated, the truth is never clear, and forgiveness is our best hope.

SYNOPSIS


SYNOPSIS




1995. A crowded auditorium. Author Louis Goldstein, mid-30s, is reading from his
best-selling tell-all family memoir Goldstein to a large, enthusiastic audience.
The book is a hatchet job, tracing his family’s story over 90 years, but showing
them in an unflattering light. He reveals what he deems his family’s shameful
secrets. During the reading, the spirits of his family, dead and living, come
back to refute what he has written about them (“They Are Here”).

Louis’s elderly and ailing Aunt Sherri is in her hospital room with her niece—
Louis’ sister Miriam. Sherri calls the book a pack of lies, and wonders where
Louis got all of what she considers to be inaccurate information.

Back at the reading, Louis begins the multi-generational story of Goldstein,
with his then 19-year-old grandmother Zelda’s journey from Russia to America. On
the boat, Zelda meets and falls in love with a young and handsome "Man on the
Boat." The two dream of a new start together in a new land (“Up Ahead”). The Man
on the Boat promises to send for Zelda once he’s settled in America.

Zelda arrives in New York and lives with her brother and his cruel wife Irene.
Zelda waits to hear from the Man on the Boat, but no letter ever arrives.
Broken-hearted and desperate to escape from Irene, Zelda meets and marries Louie
Rudolph. Together, they open a dress shop in New Jersey. Zelda keeps the story
of her lost love a secret from Louie. Louie also has a secret: he deserted from
the army during World War I. Upon the birth of their first child, Sherri, Louie
confesses to Zelda, explaining that his real last name is Goldstein. He tells
Zelda that, to start his new life in an honest way, he must turn himself in to
the authorities. He assures Zelda that, despite the secret of his false name and
desertion, he remains the good and reliable man she married (“I’m Still Me”). By
the time he is released from jail a year later, his world has changed: the
couple’s second child, Nathan, has been born, and Zelda has come into her own as
a businesswoman. From now on, Zelda will be calling the shots.

It’s 12 years later, and Sherri and Nathan playfully make fun of their parents’
dubious business practices (“Honest As The Day Is Long”). Sherri, now a young
woman of great academic promise, tells her mother that she’s been accepted to
medical school on a full scholarship. Her parents, stuck in their old ways, do
not approve, preferring that Sherri find a husband. Sherri pleads her case to
Zelda (“When We Look Back”). Zelda ultimately defers to Louie— knowing that
Louie will forbid Sherri’s request. Louie suffers a heart attack, and Sherri
agrees to stay home and help in the store.

Sherri meets and falls in love with Sammy Leftofsky, the butcher’s son from down
the street. Sammy leaves with Nathan to join the Navy and fight in World War II.
Sammy and Sherri profess their love and promise to write to each other while he
is overseas fighting (“Tell Me All”). Sammy dies in the war, leaving Sherri
devastated. To comfort her daughter, Zelda shares the story of her own lost
love— the secret story of the Man on the Boat. Zelda makes Sherri promise not to
share the story, and Sherri agrees.

Nathan returns from the war despondent and broken. As an officer in the Navy, he
was charged with incompetence of leadership during an incident that led to the
death of several sailors, including Sammy. Feeling deep guilt, Nathan considers
suicide, but is rescued from his despair by Sherri. Seeking a new start, Nathan
decides to go to become a doctor. Upon his acceptance to medical school, his
proud parents rejoice. While outwardly encouraging, Sherry privately resents her
less-talented brother becoming a doctor (“Boys”).

Nathan marries Eleanor, a woman as strong in determination as Zelda. Despite
protests from Zelda, Eleanor and Nathan move to Manhattan. Louie dies. Eleanor
gives birth to Louis, named after his recently-deceased grandfather. Nathan
takes his family to New Jersey each weekend to visit his mother Zelda, but
Eleanor quickly tires of visiting her mother-in-law (“Visiting Your Mother”).

Zelda’s nemesis from her first years in New York, the mean-spirited sister
in-law Irene, has died. When cleaning out Irene’s apartment, Sherri discovers a
box with Zelda’s name on it. Sherri brings the box to Zelda, now in her 70s. In
the box are letters from the Man On The Boat— letters Irene kept from Zelda 50
years ago. One by one, Zelda reads the letters (“Beloved”).

It is now the early 1980s. Now a young man, Louis comes out to his family.
Nathan, a successful psychiatrist, disapproves. His mother, Eleanor, fails to
stand up for Louis. When his younger sister Miriam gets married, Louis complains
that her wedding is a sign that their parents are more accepting of her than
they are of him (“Have You Met My Parents”).

Nathan dies, leaving his unresolved tensions with Louis. The aging and ill
Sherri, distressed at the news, experiences a hallucination. In the
hallucination, Sherri sees Zelda and blames her mother for having ruined her
life. Other family members appear and express their resentment to their parents.
The parents, in turn, defend their actions (“For The Best”).

A few days later, Louis visits his Aunt Sherri in the hospital. She angrily
confronts him about the veracity of his memoir. She demands to know where Louis
got all his incriminating information. Louis explains that it was her— Aunt
Sherri herself— who has told Louis the stories over the years.

Shocked into recognition of her own stories, Sherri begins to accept her
family’s mistakes, and the gravity of their life-altering decisions. She
despairs that her life was wasted. Louis, aware of the distress his book has
caused his aunt, assures her that her life has been valuable, saying that, if
not for her, happiness wouldn’t have come to Sammy, Nathan, and even himself.
Sherri, now having confronted the truth, finally finds a sense of peace. She
encourages Louis to make his own peace with his deceased father, Nathan. The
family members, living and dead, reappear and sing of the importance of
acceptance and reconciliation (“Sherri’s Reprise”). Sherri pleads with the still
angry Louis to forgive his father. Surrounded by his imperfect but loving
family, and sharing a gentle look with his father, Louis begins his journey
toward forgiveness.
