How Easy Is The Shpiel To Put On? 

You will find that the shpiel is very easy to put on.  You can be as creative as you like. However, the shpiels vary in levels of difficulty.  For information on a specific shpiel email Cantor Shore.  With this shpiel package you will receive everything that you need to present your purim shpiel.  The CD that you will receive has all of the songs professionally recorded with full orchestration and parodied words.  We understand that most synagogues do not budget for Purim so we have made it very easy for you.  The CD can also be used for performance.  Once there is an amplified voice singing over the CD you will not hear the voice on the CD.  This will save you having to hire musicians or buying sheet music.

How Many Rehearsals Will We Need? 

Some people have only 1 or 2 rehearsals while others simply have everyone show up the night of the shpiel, hand out the scripts and let everyone read and sing along with the CD.  Others will have more rehearsals.  It really works in any situation.

What Does a Shpiel Cost?

We do offer a sliding scale.  For further information on pricing please contact Cantor Shore.  Please include the name and size of your congregation.

Which Shpiels Are For Adults And Which Are For Children? 

Our shpiels can be used for either adults and children.  None of them contain anything inappropriate for any age group.  There are some however that utilize themes that are popular with children. 

Where Does Music Come From? 

Music from certain shpiels is taken either from the show we are parodying or of the theme of the shpiel.   

The music for some of the shpiels is taken from a top 40 R & B list.  It is music that might not be familiar to you but your kids will know it.   

Can We Sing With The Vocals On The CD?

The CD that you will receive has Cantor Shore’s voice singing the lead vocals.  In many cases you will find that you can sing over the vocals.  If you are using a microphone for the actual presentation your voice will be heard over the CD.  In addition, some of your congregants will enjoy having the vocals as a guide. 

How can I get the music with no vocals?

If you go to www.soundchoice.com or www.pocketsongs.com you can order the karaoke background vocals.

How Long Are The Shpiels?

The shpiels range from 30-50 minutes.

How Many Performers Are Needed?

Each shpiel varies.  There is room however, to consolidate parts if needed. 

How Long Must We Wait For Delivery?

When we receive your check we will send the shpiel.  It will go out via regular mail.

Do We Need To Memorize the Words Or Script?

No, it’s not necessary.  This is for fun!  Most congregations have chosen to read their scripts.  You can of course decided to memorize the songs.  Either way they are successful.
