If you think your wildest dreams are impossible, imagine this. There was a nice Jewish boy who had a thing for athletic, intelligent Asian women but at the same time wanted to marry a nice, religious Jewish girl. He got both.

In many ways, Rachel Factor's show is typical of one-woman performances: there's the microphone, the bar stool, the empty stage; several original songs; autobiographical monologues full of humor, pathos, bittersweet memories....

In the show, Ms. Factor, who was born Christine Horii in Hawaii, relates her journey from a high-kicking Rockette at Radio City Music Hall to Israel, where she now lives with her husband and two children. She is currently on a 41-city American tour, performing to sold-out auditoriums at synagogues, community centers and Jewish high schools, all the audiences filled exclusively with women, as her strict faith demands.


I know that this article is all about Ms. Factor, but I can't help thinking - how did Mr. Factor pull this off?
