Fiddler on the Roof

Took a group of theatre geeks to see "Fiddler on the Roof" last night. AMAZING performance by 74 year old Topol. yes, that's the same guy who starred in the movie that most of you have probably seen. It's his farewell tour and even if you're not a huge musical theatre fan, it's worth seeing. There's just something about watching someone in their signature role.

Just fyi...the show is just shy of 3 hours, so don't plan anything for early the morning after.....

  1. My high school did Fiddler, and I think I saw it about 3 times because there was a guy I had a crush on that was in it. He didn't know I existed, of course.

    I hope you're having a great summer! I have missed you!

  2. I LOVE Fiddler on the Roof! I just started watching it on DVD a few weeks ago and forgot to watch the rest.

    What an awesome thing to be able to have seen Topol play Tevia on stage! Lucky girl!

  4. Once upon a time a little 13 yr old girl auditioned for fiddler as her second show ever, and got to play Golde opposite an 18 yr old boy who was awkward. He thought it was funny to lick her hand when he kissed it durring "do you love me." She got wise and put a glob of hand sanitizer on her hand. He never licked her again.

    Also I gave you an award!

  6. I figured as much. I am pretty glad i auditioned for that silly show too. One of the most memorable events in my lifetime. I don't know whether that is a good thing, or a really pathetic thing, but hey!

  7. I've seen different musicals many times and Fiddler was one of my best attended shows ever…I got a pretty good seat after comparing prices for Free from Ticketwood.com . It was really one of the most memorable shows with a beautiful, smooth-flowing set, gorgeous music and a super talented cast.
