The 10,000 people who experienced “Exodus” at the Jewish Children’s Museum during March and early April will certainly not be surprised: owing to huge public enthusiasm, Exodus has agreed to add a full month of encore performances!

Judging from the past shows, Exodus has all the ingredients of a real blockbuster: time travel, water turning to blood, frogs dropping from the ceiling, a splitting sea and matza baking; what’s not to love?

Even though the Exodus organizers added tens of extra shows, after Exodus closed, they were still being inundated by requests for more.
