Welcome to Verses: Where Broadway and Torah Meet, a place to geek out on Broadway musicals, Biblical text, and the interplay of the verses in both. On each episode of Verses, Anita Silvert in Chicago selects a song from the Broadway canon and matches it with a selection from the Biblical canon, putting the texts in conversation with one another.

Love this show and especially Lisa as a co-host!
I am so excited this podcast exists. As a Torah and theatre lover, I leave each podcast with a new insight on both the Torah and the musical. It’s incredible how they intersect, particularly Sondheim. Keep it up!
A lovely concept, I hope that in time the hosts invest in higher quality microphones
