Lesley, who is Jewish, finds this overwhelming and walks out.
When a change of heart brings her back she finds a beautiful synagogue.
Press Reviews
"May be the most melodic non musical in town. Levin has a talent for tickling the imagination and making the unbelievable seem almost inevitable. Cantorial is an easy, intriguing and diverting theatrical page turner."
— The New York Times
