Showstoppers: 14 Broadway Classics
From the great synagogue in Tel Aviv to the great stages of Tel  Aviv, London and New York, Dudu Fisher has become an international  superstar.As Mr. Fisher said in his successful, off-Broadway, one-man show,Never  on Friday, "He was a Jewish Jean Valjean." He played the starring role  inLes Miserablesaround the world and took part in the "Royal  Command Performance" for the Queen of England. As an observant Jew, Mr.  Fisher was the first actor on Broadway and in the West End to be excused  from performing on Friday nights, Saturday matinees and all Jewish  holidays. Though Mr. Fisher has performed with the Israel Philharmonic  Orchestra and the Queens and Baltimore Symphony Orchestras, the London  Symphony and for Britain's royal family, the Thai royal family and  President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton, he has never forgotten  his roots. In addition to his brilliant renditions of Broadway music, he  continues to perform traditional Hassidic, Yiddish and cantorial music to  audiences all over the world. To sum up the talents of Mr. Fisher, we quote  Lawrence Van Gelder of theNew-York Times, "Mr. Fisher displays a  talent that resists confinement and is an explosion of religious faith."
