8-11-2009 Tuesday - Fiddler On The Roof

Last night, I went with some friends to see...

It was playing at the Orange County Performing Arts Center.

The original Tevye played by Topol performed to a standing ovation.
These were the reviews:

"One of the most glowing creations in the history of musical theatre." –THE NEW YORK TIMES

Topol, the original Tevye, performs the role that made him legendary in Fiddler On The Roof, the Tony® Award winning musical that has captured the hearts of people all over the world with its universal appeal. Never has any other musical so magically woven music, dance, poignancy and laughter into such an electrifying and unforgettable experience. Based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem, Fiddler On The Roof has been lauded by critics again and again, and won the hearts of people all around the world. Filled with a rousing, heartwarming score, which includes "Tradition," "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," "If I Were A Rich Man" and "Sunrise, Sunset," Fiddler On The Roof is a timeless classic. Relive a glorious tradition with Fiddler On The Roof.

We went to The Canyon Restaurant for dinner before. We had a great night!

Lucky! My good friend here in Houston also saw Fiddler with Topol and said it was amazing. I was so sorry to miss it when it came here. I am glad you all got to go. By the way, we're coming out September 2, for Labor Day weekend - will you guys be in town? I would love to stop by and say hello.

I saw Fiddler on the Roof at the Pantages several years ago, with Monica Sedgwick, in fact! What a great musical! You're lucky you got to see one of Topols last performances!

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.
