Featured Review

"Fiddler" evokes of the laughter-through-tears experience at the core of the Jewish soul without self-pity. A clever and thought-provoking book illuminates the conflict Jews experience between their tradition and modernity -- a theme laid down at the outset and continued throughout. The songs are memorable and pleasantly evocative of the Jewish tradition, as is the fiddler on the roof himself -- a figure out of place and in some danger, yet undaunted.

Harvey Fierstein may be an acquired taste for some; like Satchmo, his gravelly voice takes some getting used to. Fortunately, I acquired a taste for Harvey in the 1980s in "Torch Song Trilogy," and have been a steadfast fan ever since. "Fiddler" is the perfect vehicle for Harvey to display his loving and generous spirit without the 'Yiddish Mamma' schtick.

If you go to the theater to laugh, to cry and to think, you will be amply rewarded by this "Fiddler," ably staged and acted -- as evidenced by the standing ovation by the packed house at the performance I attended.

I saw the movie at age 10 and then saw the off Broadway production several years ago at the Bushnell in Hartford, CT...how excited I was to see the tour come to Boston. Loved the performance! The Opera House really sets the stage for theatrical beauty even before the show starts. Scenery was minimal, but enough to set the tone of the show. Singing, dancing and performance were really terrific...couldn't have asked for a nicer show to see. With so much junk and garbage on TV--I got my money's worth AND enjoyed a beautiful performance. Topol is the heart and soul of this production. He puts every ounce of his energy into his role --and he has truely made it his own.

This rendition of Fiddler on the Roof was well done. The only problem I had was that some of the voices got lost, especially when the orchestra was playing loudly.

The performance by far exceeds what one would expect of high school actors. Minimalist sets supported the action of the play and choreography was well done. The young man playing Tevye was absolutely outstanding. Kudos to make-up, tech, the orchestra, and, of course, the faculty director for a splendid production. I can't wait to see more from Wahlert!

The music of Fiddler is always great. I found the sound system difficult. From the loge, the music and female voices were strident and tinny, I'm sure not an indication of the singer's true voices. I thought the dream scene was inappropriate for the time and character of this musical. It belonged in a rock or pop score. The settings were nicely done and the acting was professional. My granddaughter was very happy to be there.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is an EXCELLENT story of what life & village was like in Czarist Russia circa 1903....

Torah readings...Blessings by the Rabbi....Jewish tailor apprenticeship....tradition of Jewish father to care for daughters....the sadness of breaking up family.....

the heart-breading expulsion of great, loving, hard-working, honest, diligent Jews in a Russian village....very much a REALITY in HISTORY!

I am hugely opposed to plays and movies, but this one has MEANING and PURPOSE and EDUCATES!

My daughters and I did enjoy the show. The only thing I noticed that I didn't care for was that the music was going fast. It seemed like they were rushing through each musical piece instead of living the moment.

The cast did a wonderful job. The set was great and funny to watch them set it up. Music equally wonderful. Very nice surroundings. Refreshments too pricey however. Seats not the most comfortable. Two 10 dollar seats ended up cost almost $35. Would probably not do THAT again or recommend it to friends.

We went to this performance expecting to see college kids performing. Based on local high school talent, we figured it would be worth seeing.
The 5 star rating is for the actor in the lead role, Tevye, who was fearless in embracing the role. And he was so good - amazing voice, great timing on the humor, completely credible as the character.
Other stellar performances - his wife, their daughters, and the tailor, who was also completely credible in his role as the timid suitor.
There were also several children in the play, including one very young boy. They were all amazingly convincing - they knew their lines, they knew the words to the songs, and they were on step and in sync with the older actors in every dance.

Fiddler On the Roof was the most touching musical of those I've seen. What was remarkable is that the story is true-to-life, probably part of the life story of many who were there, through their ancestors, as it was the story of the Pogrom of the Russians taking the land and property of the Jewish people, forcing them to come to America when they had nowhere else to go. The Jewish people in Fiddler were in Czarist Russia. Tevye and his wife are worried about finding husbands for their three eldest daughters. As, one by one, they fall in love, the story revolves around them as the Russians warn the family to sell their property and leave in 3 days. Of course they can't sell in 3 days, so they leave everything behind to go to America. Their strong personalities on stage and the music make this musical heart-warming and unforgettable. The wonder of "If I Were a Rich Man", "Matchmaker, Matchmaker", and "Sunrise, Sunset", are to remember over and over again.
