The New York City Bar Association will roast U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in an original musical comedy Feb. 5.
“Quando Ce Ne Sono Nove (When There Are Nine): A Night at the Opera with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg” is a humorous tribute to the justice, her life and her love of opera, said U.S. Magistrate Judge Stewart Aaron of the Southern District of New York, who plays roles including Justice William Rehnquist and Chief Judge Merrick Garland of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia in the show.
The city bar’s entertainment committee, spearheaded by Nancy Zehner of the legal recruiting shop The Artemis Group, has been preparing for the show for months, with rehearsals taking place three nights a week in the run-up to the big night, said Aaron.
He said they put in “excruciating research” and got support from the team behind the NYU Law Revue, “a talented group of people who have been doing these shows for years.” The book and lyrics were written by Amanda Bakale, with Zehner serving as producer, director and musical director.
