“I can not describe the overwhelming emotions that accompany the fulfillment of a dream. I always wanted to give women and girls in my community a taste of real musical theater and show them how life changing it can be.”
Esther Sara Zyskind is honored and privileged to be sitting in the director’s seat for the second time at such a young age and taking on the vision and creation of Unlimited the Musical. Esther Sara has been singing and performing all her life and her recent debut into directing was just a byproduct of her love of the stage. She teaches voice in Brooklyn, NY and online and has trained with Broadway coaches, members of the Juilliard School of Music, LaGuardia School of Music and Art, London College of Performing Arts and many others.
“I want to send a message to everyone out there that dreams really do come true. Don’t wait for someone else to make things happen; you can be that person! Everyone deserves the chance to fly, and whether you’re just finding your wings now, standing on the edge about to jump, or already flying high, remember that there’s always more out there to see and take in and grow from. When you learn to believe in yourself you’ll find that you are unbelievably UNLIMITED.
Thank you to my EMERALD team: to everyone both on and off stage. A special hug for my EMERALD partner Aviva who I continue to learn from every day- you are a dream to work with. To my beloved cast of already known stars and fresh amazing talent- welcome to the Unlimited family.
My deepest gratitude belongs to my parents who continue to believe in and support me and all of my grandiose dreams. A big thank you to my sisters and brother who share the same passions as I do and to my friends and the people around me who never leave my side- you made me into who I am today.

Shaindy Weichbrod
Shaindy Weichbrod is so thrilled to be joining the cast of Unlimited for the performance of a lifetime! Alongside a star studded cast, it is sure to be a magnificent presentation of super exciting proportions! Shaindy’s singing career began in camp at 12 years old, alongside Malky Giniger and her trained vocalists. She went on to train her voice in the Ratzon program, star in productions and then train others vocally as a Ratzon instructor, so that they too can have a chance to shine! She lives in Brooklyn, NY (how original) with her husband and beloved children. The rejuvenation of this passion is so exciting for her as well as for her family!
I want to thank Gd for my love of this art, as well as for the gift. I want to thank my husband for his incredible support, my parents for humoring all my living room performances growing up, and my sister for being my literal cheerleader the whole way through. I would also like to thank Malky Giniger for pushing me beyond my limitations and believing in me more then I did myself. Last but not least, thanks to all of YOU for being here, we know you’ll enjoy flying with us!
