Reviews of Chronicles

"Hamishn tam" - touching, funny, great stories and songs; left us wanting more.

Daniel Cainer is a superbly talented musician, singer, song-writer who performed in such a way as to make us feel we were listening to his songs, relaxing in his living room before a roaring fire. Intimate, accessible, genuine, clever, funny...continued

Entertaining evening, with songs of family & self. Knowing a bissel yiddish will help, but not necessary.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! WILL SEE IT AGAIN WITH FRIENDS. THE MUSIC IS A DELIGHT AND SO IS HE!

An amazing performance by a very talented Daniel Cainer who really nailed it when it comes to the humor in many Jewish families including one I belonged to for a while. Thanks to Debra Ehrhardt of Jamaica Farewell fame, for her wonderful support...continued

Very enjoyable experience. Loved how he brought the audience into the show.

Very cute songs with a Jewish immigrant theme that was appealing. I think the show would have been better if Daniel Cainer had interspersed some spoken stories in between his songs. I think the variety of the two would have been more engaging....continued

Hoping that this extremely talented performer is able to extend his show dates or have Debra Ehrhardt, his amazing producer, get a committment to return sometime next year. This show was thoroughly delightful, touching, clever and witty. Daniel...continued

Fantastic! I attended Daniel's opening night with 3 of my friends and enjoyed it so much brought more friends back to see him again on Saturday, Dec. 20. Excellent and even more enjoyable (if that is possible) the second time around. We are all...continued

Last night I went to see "Jewish Chronicles" at the Santa Monica Playhouse and what an entertaining evening. Brit Daniel Cainer sets stories to song - he wrote the music and lyrics and plays the keyboards. Although they are Jewish-themed...continued

An evening of narrative songs set to piano, this was a smart, humorous and even elegant show put on by a skillful, soulful performer. Mr. Cainer has a real gift for clever, yet meaningful language. He manages to be both satiric and inspiring at...continued

La Chaim ! :)

very poignant but about a half an hour too long and the theatre kept getting hot and cold.

Daniel is such a wonderful performer, singer/songwriter, and storyteller. I loved the show more than the poster made me think I would. Go see it.

Soulful, heartfelt stories in song with the perfect mix of passion. pathos & humor. along with impeccable timing. Rapid fire verses,
chock full of inner rhymes & rhythmic nuances, contrasted with beautifully lilting choruses. Even for goyim like...continued

What an amazing performance!! Jewish Chronicles's Daniel Cainer was at ease on stage-he interacted brilliantly with the audience and the stories communicated through song and the piano were superlative! An amazingly talented musician, this is a...continued

It was hilariously funny! And I wept in a few places as well. But seriously - this guy was an amazing performer! I was mesmerized by his stories, his piano playing and his singing! It was a very unique performance.
I loved him and would see...continued

He was very talented and show was very entertaining. He interacted with the audience a lot.One note-- his last song was a kind of sad /melancholy song about his grandparents which was kind of a downer to end on. The 2nd to last song would have...continued

wonderfully funny yet poignant and moving lyrics and voice. just delightful.
