Mazel Musicals, Inc. and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts present "Lansky" - the story about Meyer Lansky, the infamous gangster, gambler and complicated man who masterminded some of the most ingenious wealth management systems for his gangland brethren.

The play also deals with Lansky's little known efforts to become an Israeli citizen and uses his life story as a crucible to explore Jewish identity and the choices first generation Americans made in order to achieve wealth and success. This one-man tour stars the legendary American and Israeli star Mike Burstyn, who was recently seen in N.Y. in "On 2nd Avenue," for which he received his second Drama Desk nomination. He has been acclaimed on and off-Broadway in "Barnum," "Jolson," "The Rothschilds," "The Tale of the Allergist's Wife," "Ain't Broadway Grand" and is the recipient of three Israeli "Oscars." If you missed this sensational performance last year at the Parker Playhouse, this is a "must-see" theatrical event for this coming season.
