Reviews:
MP + JS: Here There Are Blueberries @ NYTW, through June 30, 2024
By Moisés Kaufman & Amanda Gronich
Conceived & Directed by Moisés Kaufman
A co-production with Tectonic Theater Project
In 2007, a mysterious album featuring Nazi-era photographs arrived at the desk of a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archivist. As curators unraveled the shocking truth behind the images, the album soon made headlines and ignited a debate that reverberated far beyond the museum walls. Based on real events, Here There Are Blueberries tells the story of these historical photographs—what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and our own humanity.
This new piece from Tectonic Theater Project (The Laramie Project) is conceived and directed by NYTW Usual Suspect and Tony and Emmy nominee Moisés Kaufman and co-written by Emmy nominee Amanda Gronich. Charles McNulty of the Los Angeles Times cheered, “Moisés Kaufman conducts this impeccable production with symphonic subtlety.”
Here There Are Blueberries was a Pulitzer finalist this year. 100 plays in the Pulitzer play category this year.

Peter’s Brainteaser:
Usually an overture offers selections and snippets from many songs and not entire songs. And yet, if an original cast album is to be believed, one musical that was famously denied a best musical nomination had an overture that offered its one hit song in its entirety and nothing else that would be sung in the show.
What’s the show? What’s the song that was entirely played in the overture?
