Sea of Meshuganas is collaboration between Israeli lyricist Mirpy Daniels and Israeli composer Gilad Cohen. The show deals with the cultural and world-view clashes between Israelis and Americans living in New York. The concept on which the plot is based was conceived in 2008 by Gilad Cohen and Elana Smith, and the current performance presents a concert version including singer/actress Arden Kelly, an instrumental ensemble from New York City and a choir based on Princeton University students.
