A Solemn Vow: Feldshuh Opens on Broadway in Gordon Play March 29
The Directors Company production of Irena's Vow, which played an extended engagement at the Baruch Performing Arts Center in fall 2008, officially opens on Broadway with its original star - four-time Tony nominee Tovah Feldshuh - March 29 at 6:30 PM at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
Directed by Michael Parva, Dan Gordon's play began previews at the Kerr March 10.
The entire Off-Broadway company - including Sandi Carroll, Tracee Chimo, Steven Hauck, Scott Klavan, Peter Reznikoff, Thomas Ryan, Gene Silvers, John Stanisci and Maja Wampuszyc - now reprise their work for Broadway audiences.
Irena's Vow, according to the producers, "is the uplifting true story about one of the most courageous and unsung heroines of World War II. During the German occupation of Poland, Irena Gut Opdyke (Feldshuh), a Polish Catholic, was forced to work as head housekeeper for a very prominent Nazi major. Over a two year period of service, Irena would risk her own life in order to save the lives of twelve Jewish refugees whom she secretly took under her care. Irena's Vow is the extraordinary story of one woman's choice and the twelve lives that would ultimately be saved - or lost - by her decision."
