14 Jul
Summary
- Actress Tovah Feldshuh voices Mrs. Fogler in the musical adaptation.
- The musical is based on the 1999 film 'A Walk on the Moon'.
- It explores themes of breaking societal limitations and personal dreams.
Six-time Emmy and Tony Award nominee Tovah Feldshuh is lending her voice to the off-Broadway musical adaptation of the 1999 film "A Walk on the Moon." She is providing the voice of Mrs. Fogler, broadcast over the PA system at the Catskills bungalow colony where the story is set. Feldshuh, who starred as Bubbe in the original movie, noted the synchronicity of this offer, especially given her recent work with producer Dustin Hoffman.
The musical, playing at the Laura Pels Theatre through August 22, 2026, is directed by Sheryl Kaller. It features a book and additional lyrics by Pamela Gray, with music and lyrics by AnnMarie Milazzo. Producers describe the piece as a "stirring new musical about dreams differed and one women's desire for a life that isn't strictly earthbound."
Feldshuh sees a metaphor in the musical's title, relating protagonist Pearl's journey of self-discovery to the historical significance of the moon landing. She also expressed pride in contributing to a story with cultural Jewish resonance, reflecting the society of 1950s and '60s bungalow colonies.
