Book & lyrics by Ali Viterbi
Music & lyrics by Toby Singer
In 1940s Budapest, two Jewish figures rose to prominence. One was Hannah Senesh. The second was Rudolf Kastner. Yet of the two, Senesh is the only to enter the Jewish people’s pantheon of heroes. History remembers Kastner as a villain, while it lauds Senesh as one of its greatest heroes. But really: when we look back into the dark, what story will we tell? So asks the opening lyric of "Budapest, Budapest," which tells the unknown story of Rudolf Kastner and asks: What is the cost of redemption? What does it mean to be a hero?
