Life Review: The Hospice Musical Cabaret
by Benjamin Kintisch
Life Review: The Hospice Musical is a new musical comedy celebrating life, love and loss through three seasons at a residential hospice. The chaplain, the nurse, and each patient gets to sing their story. We hear from a proud mother remembering snow, a man of God wondering if his prayers are heard, and an older man singing praises for a life well lived.
This cabaret performance includes 8 songs, performed live by creator Benjamin Kintisch, who wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the script. The full-length musical was a collaboration with composers Jason Spiewak, Michael Miller, Andy Bossov and Miriam Kook.
