JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical

Yep, it works: Jerome Saibil and Eli Batalion update and rap the Biblical story of Job in a smart, secular show that breathlessly manages to sample everything from The Wizard of Oz to K.C. and the Sunshine Band. These are two guys on a creative high, flying off intricately clever wordplay that probably has even Cole Porter smiling somewhere.
