The story of south Florida is a story of boom and bust, of destruction and creation, of capitalism and its discontents. It's a story that is interpreted in Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's musical Road Show, about the relationship between (non-Jewish) brothers Addison and Wilson Mizner, whose creative imagination and thirst for wealth shaped Palm Beach and Boca Raton during the 1920s Florida land boom. In conversation with three-time Tony nominee John Weidman and with insights from historians of Jewish Florida, we're tracing the development of Jewish life in the Sunshine State. Join the ISJL Virtual Vacation for a whirlwind musical tour of Florida Jewry and a dissection of the enigmas and eccentricities of early-20th-century American history. If you've ever wondered what Stephen Sondheim has to do with Boca Raton, this episode is for you.
