Of course, there are those bio bulges that are more Borscht Belt than Broadway. Such was his starring role as Bobby Star, the star-crossed crooner of "Goyband," whose hope for a gig almost gagged him with a mouthful of chopped liver.

When Bobby's booked for what appears as a gag of a gig at Mazel Hotel -- "the world's first glatt-kosher casino-hotel" -- he does his guitar thing amid the geezers: Bobby bobs amid the bubbies and zaydes in this most unorthodox film of phalacteries and frenzied eating of Catskills roadkill.

"Schmutz Dancing"?

"It was a lot of fun," he laughs of his Jewish journey from "Broadway Guy" to "Goyband."

Indeed, it must have been for audiences, too, since it premiered to high-fives amid its high jinks of a tale at last year's Jerusalem Film Festival.

Did Pascal bond with "Goyband"?

"I had a special feeling for it, yes; I know all those characters -- they were people in my family," says the proudly Jewish performer.

"I spent a lot of time at Kutscher's and at the Concord in the Catskills, and shooting there brought it all back to me," relays Pascal of a childhood where his yen for Yiddishkeit and cabanas was accommodated.

Video Spider liked our film clip so much that they reposted it on their site!

Goyband is mentioned, front and center!

Feldshuh just completed the feature film Goyband with Adam Pascal, Amy Davidson, Cris Judd,Dean Edwards,Tibor Feldman and Natasha Lyonne.

Mentions are always good!

"His film credits include 'RENT', 'School of Rock,' 'SLC Punk!,' 'Temptation,' and 'Goyband.' "

Here's a little excerpt from a blog discussion:

Baily says: "Do you mean musicals? RENT has to be my favorite. I'm really looking forward to Goyband, too."

Just found this site, which reports on films, including Goyband. Follow the link to see lovely pics of our actors and read a little about the film.

We love mentions and there are mentions galore...like on Natasha Lyonne's Wikipedia. Yeah.

Amy Davidson talks to the National Ledger about her experience playing Rebekka in Goyband - and how Rebekka reminds her of herself.

Here is what the National Ledger printed:

THE INDIE EYE: Former "8 Simple Rules" regular Amy Davidson plays a very unorthodox "Orthodox Jewish girl" in the upcoming indie film, "Goyband."

"It takes place in the Catskills," says Davidson of the film that also features rocker/Broadway star Adam Pascal. "My character falls in love with a has-been rock star (Pascal) but she lives in a very Orthodox Jewish community. She wants to break free and ends up leaving her community and family and following her heart -- just like what I did when I moved to L.A.," recalls the actress, who hails from Phoenix, AZ. "Only my family didn't turn their backs on me like what happens with this girl. It was a fun project. I love anybody who's going to follow their dreams. And Adam Pascal is such a doll."

It is so nice to be mentioned in Playbill, as we are in this article "Liberman Will Join Myers in Mufti Minnie's Boys."

Amy's on Watt-up, and Goyband was mentioned! There are great pictures of Amy too...

"The Hot redhead off 8 Simple Rules... for Dating My Teenage Daughter, looks like she has a few things in the making! Drop Point in pre-production and Goyband in post-production, I miss seeing her and Kaley Cuoco together, you couldn't ask for a hotter pair!"

Love the mention!

This is a report on Goyband in a language we can't read - looks like Turkish.

No matter the language, it's good to get a mention.

Josh Alexander gave Goyband a wonderful mention in The Daily Texan when promoting his movie, "Backseat" Thanks Josh, for the shout out:

"I did ["Goyband"] where I play a Russian Jewish bodyguard with a thick Russian accent and a mustache."

"...Cris just completed Goyband, 'about an aging pop star in a boy band, with Adam Pascal from Rent.'

Cris plays a 'converted Orthodox Jewish gay guy who is really flamboyant.' He said it was a lot of fun to play. "

Here is what they write:

"SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: Dancer and choreographer Cris Judd has definitely been expanding his resume of late -- not only as a judge on Lifetime's "Your Mama Don't Dance" dance competition show but also in the acting realm. For one thing, he's completed "Goyband," an indie film "I shot last year. It's about an aging pop star in a boy band, with Adam Pascal from 'Rent.' He's an aging boy-bander, kind of still stuck in the '90s, who gets booked to do a show at this Orthodox Jewish retreat/casino and ends up falling in love with a girl there who is there to be married. I play a converted Orthodox Jewish gay guy who is really flamboyant. It's a lot of fun." The film, also starring Amy Davidson, Natasha Lyonne and Tovah Feldshuh, is awaiting distribution."

ANOTHER Playbill mention for Goyband - thanks Adam!

New York Times lists Goyband under its' movie section!

And we quote the Miami Herald's article on Erik Liberman (Marvin in Goyband):

"...appeared in the still-to-be released movie Goyband with J-Lo ex Chris Judd and Rent star Adam Pascal."

The website Cinematical writes:

This will be his first starring role in a feature film, although he previously popped up on television shows like Saved by the Bell: The New Class, and as "Palace Clipboard Man" in La Lohan's Just My Luck -- not to mention some swingin' times as a Pussycat Swingers Club Dancer in Austin Powers.
