Rating: 5 out of 5Great Evening with the Klezmatics
by nomen on 12/16/14Loeb Playhouse - West LafayetteMy wife and I had a great time watching and listening to the Klezmatics. They had decent stage presence and had fair success encouraging the crowd to participate - a difficult task given the crowd was composed almost entirely of alta cockers. I was moved to clap along. The instrumentation was terrific, they were wonderful musicians playing klezmer music with a vibrant spin. Speaking of spinning, I loved all the hannukah music they played! Indiana is such a khazer esn goy state, that it's great to have some yid culture come to town. Even if only for a night! It was a great way to kick off the festival of lights! Chag sameach! The venue was also classy with a touch of a bygone era.
