Singer and actress Roni Dalumi has been cast as the lead in a new theatrical musical based on Eitan Fox's 2013 film "Bananas." The musical will premiere at the בית ליסין Theater.
Dalumi will portray Anat, a woman whose life becomes complicated as she navigates financial difficulties with her cafe, her husband serving in the reserves, and the challenges of raising a teenage daughter. Amidst this chaos, she finds herself on a path to represent Israel in an Eurovision-style song contest with her two best friends.
The production is being helmed by Eitan Fox, who directed the original film, and United King. The original "Bananas" film, released 13 years ago, followed a group of friends who recorded a song to cheer up a friend experiencing a breakup. What began as a casual gathering evolved into a significant adventure when their song was chosen to represent Israel in an international singing competition.
The original film starred Ofer Shechter, Yael Bar Zohar, Anat Waxman, Dana Ivgy, Efrat Dor, and Keren Berger. Producers of the new musical are reportedly interested in bringing back some of the original cast members, though no confirmations have been made. The premiere date for the musical has not yet been announced.
