Milk and Honey, Jerry Herman’s first Broadway book musical, takes audiences to the early days of Israel, where a group of American widows arrive in search of adventure and maybe, even a second chance at love. While in Jerusalem, one of the tourists, Ruth, meets Phil, an American visiting his daughter, and they have an immediate connection. Their newfound love is complicated by unresolved problems back home. As they journey through a nation being built from the ground up, the pair must navigate the difficult choices that come with new beginnings.
