In this episode, I had the delightful opportunity to chat with Benjamin Kintisch, former chaplain and creator of "Life Review: The Hospice Musical".

Watch the trailer

We dove into his journey from chaplain to musical creator, proving that life is indeed a stage—and sometimes a comedy.

Benjamin's stories are as entertaining as they are inspiring, and he even graced us with a live performance that might just make you laugh, cry, and question your life choices all at once.

Key highlights:

-Benjamin's leap from chaplaincy to the bright lights of musical theater

-The touching and humorous inspiration behind "Life Review: The Hospice Musical"

-Creative insights and how to turn life's lemons into a Broadway show

-A live performance that will have you singing along (or at least humming in the shower)

Don't miss the chance to experience this unique blend of storytelling and music—it's like a therapy session with a soundtrack!

Life Review: the one-man play is booking both in-person and virtual performances through Fall 2025. Benjamin is currently looking for theatrical partners at schools, community theaters, festivals, and more.

It's a new musical celebrating life, love, and loss through three seasons at a residential hospice.

The story follows our young Rabbi David, the new chaplain at the facility. He arrives in autumn, eager and naive, caring but lonely. As he ministers to the patients, Rabbi David learns from his patients even as he cares for them. and their loved ones.

Each patient sings their story.

We hear from a proud mother remembering snow, a brave but scared young man wondering what's to come, an older man looking for one last friend, and a man of God singing praises.
