Description

Highlighted by terrific musical numbers (including a parody of the finger-snapping gangs in “West Side Story”),this wacky musical comedy tells the story of forbidden love between an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian woman. Their romantic interests are blocked by their families, who own rival fast food restaurants (Hummus Hut and Kosher King) and are constantly at odds.
