VARSHE / WARSAW / WARSZAWA

Lyrics: Stutchkoff, Music: Performed at the Kennedy Center Washington September 2019 by: Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk&Tango Attack (Tabęcki / Bożewicz / Malicki) When Ola Lilith came to America in 1931, she met great Yiddish theater stars: Molly Picon, Jenny Goldstein, Aaron Lebedev, Herman Yablokov, and more, and more. And the theater composers! Joseph Rumshinsky and Alexander Olshanetsky. Varshe - Warsaw. Really just with that name, “Warsaw,“ the operetta was named, in which Ola Lilith made her debut on the stage of the Yiddish Second Avenue Theatre in front of the American Jewish audience. With her first performance she took the audience. All agreed the Yiddish theater in America had received a new star. everyone talked about the new actress who had been brought from Warsaw by the boss of the Second Avenue, Joseph Rumshinski Even if she just sang that one song, “Warsaw“, she would have remained in the memories of Jewish theater-goers and
