The originated French musical “The Ten Commandments, The Musical,” had its U.S. premiere last May 2022, Off-Broadway, at the Center for Jewish History (New York). The production was the idea of French baritone and producer David Serero, who adapted in English, directed, produced, and starred as Moses. The show received smashing reviews and had Laurie Cumbo, the Commissioner of Cultural Affairs of the City of New York, to attend and make a bright speech. The musical, written by Pascal Obispo, one of France’s most celebrated composers, wrote the music in 2000. With original French lyrics by Lionel Florence and Patrica Guirao, the show was a massive hit, with several millions of audience members attending. Twenty years later, Serero decided to bring it to life and make it cross the Atlantic by giving it its U.S. and English-language premiere with a limited-run production, with a new stage adaptation with the addition of dialogues (written by Elie Chouraqui).

David Serero just completed with success the opening night gala of the Opera Royal du Maroc (The Royal Opera of Morocco) in Casablanca. This is the first official national opera company of Morocco. He learned of his nominations over the weekend “I was honored in 2021 when I won 3 BroadwayWorld Awards (Best Performer, Producer of a Play, and Musical), and that changed my life. I’m so proud of the hard work I did on that particular production, as it represented a tremendous challenge to adapt that huge show and make it an American musical. I am still working on the production of the Cast Album Recording, and these nominations just got me even more excited to push it to the limits. It also brings me the opportunity to dedicate all these nominations and, hopefully, these wins to the lead singer of the original French production, the iconic Daniel Levy, who passed away from cancer in France last August. It broke my heart as he truly taught me so much when he kindly agreed to meet me to coach me on the part. This production will always be dedicated to him. I am also so happy and so grateful for the authors to have their work recognized with these important nominations in the country of Musicals: America. I will bring that musical again very soon”.
