MAX AND WILLY’S LAST LAUGH
Brought to you by Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills and the Lowell Milken Fund for American Jewish Music at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. This is a staged reading with a live band.
When German star, comedian Max Ehrlich, and his best friend, composer Willy Rosen were caught in Holland in 1942 and sent to the Westerbork Transit Camp, the commandant recognized Max and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse: Every Monday night before the train leaves for Auschwitz the next morning, Max and Willy will do a cabaret. IF they are funny, they do it next week. If not — they are on the train.
What followed was 18 months of the funniest cabaret in all of Europe!
Come witness the original Funny Or Die.
Directed by Henry Wishcamper
