Overview

Based on Jerome Weidman’s bestselling novel, I Can Get It For You Wholesale is the story of an ambitious young businessman artfully clawing his way to the top of the garment industry in 1930s New York. With humour and frankness, the show explores the perils of ambition and the price of success. Contrasting the swinging, jazzy rhythms of big city business with the earthy, traditional sounds of the characters’ Eastern European origins, I Can Get It For You Wholesale captures the energy and promise of a pivotal time in Jewish American history.
