“The Golden Bride,” with music by Joseph Rumshinsky, lyrics by Louis Gilrod and libretto by Frieda Freiman, dates from 1923. Its current revival is by the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene at its attractive new theater in the Museum of Jewish Heritage at Battery Place. It was staged during the last theater season and has now returned.

The story first occurs in a shtetl in Russia, and then in the second act the action shifts to America a year later. The tale involves a young woman, Goldele, appealingly played and sung by Rachel Policar. Goldele was abandoned as a child by her mother—why is ultimately explained—and she longs to locate her long-lost mom. Meanwhile, she has been raised by a kindly couple.

Of course, there must be romance, and her prime suitor is Misha, given a strong performance by excellent singer and actor Cameron Johnson. Goldele’s status is enhanced by an unexpected inheritance, for which she heads to America to claim. She will be partial to the man who locates her mother. The plot becomes amusingly entangled, but plot is not the operetta-style show’s strong point. The fun injected into the rollicking numbers and the romantic ballads drive the production, which is also spiced with comedy and a few broad performances.
