An hour before the canopy, Tali (Tali Oren), the intended bride is locked in a “bride and groom” room, trying to convince the wedding band she has taken hostage, to help her escape her own wedding. In a funny and exciting musical comedy show she reveals everything she thinks about her future husband, a relationship and love. Will you manage to escape a moment before the “sacred, sacred, sacred”? Will the band succeed in convincing her to march to the canopy in spite of everything? And how does a plastic surgeon named “Dr. Lift” relate to all this?
This is Tali’s first collaboration with Oren Yaakobi (her husband and creator of successful musicals in the theater). With Tali on stage, a live band that includes: Assaf Dagan – drums // Gil Goldin – tram and double bass // Matan Ptolemy – keyboards

Come fall in love again with Gashash – the legendary sketches and songs in an original orchestral interpretation!
A show that brings back to the stage, in a way never done before, the pale tracker trio and distills the spirit of the mythological trio that has become synonymous with Israeliness. The show offers a unique interpretation and a new musical point of view on the artistic work of the pale tracker, using a mosaic of original works and orchestral arrangements, weaving within them video and sound samples from traces and songs of the tracker. The show reveals their unique language and richness of action as singers, actors and entertainers. The sketches, songs and movies are a starting point into wild and entertaining orchestral musical fantasies.

The projected sketches are accompanied by the orchestra in live music that has been uniquely, original and surprisingly adapted, sometimes through a change in the plot of the original sketch and sometimes in the way the orchestra integrates into it.

What fun when the child is weaned from the diapers, but how hard it is until you get to it. Why ask the taxi driver to run a meter and not a fixed price in advance, and then regret every minute. How is it that it used to be easy to find which public toilets are for women and which for men, and today you have to run Wise and still not be sure Love funerals and memorials including cemeteries and the dead, and how does that relate to Dad’s work. And the biggest question of all: “Does he have the problem or does he not? Wait, does not it pass? “
Years he has been running around the country, and even in the world, hello, he even performed in Nigeria !!, and now he comes to you with a more sweeping, more real, and much funnier show (if you ask our mom, yeah?). About life in the age of Facebook and Instagram, about parenting, diapers, sleep, (and thank God and the winter time that brings the darkness already at four in the afternoon, which lets you put them to bed at 16:10 after you take them out of the frames), about life in Tel Aviv, and in the crazy country Ours, with the phones not leaving us, the apps and groups on WhatsApp.
So leave you with everything, and if we are dealing with WhatsApp groups, then open such a group for yourself, come on, order tickets, so that you do not write later “We tried to achieve and we did not succeed, Nadav, you were disappointed!”
