The cast was terrific but the actor that played Yenta was not a good fit. The first act was phenomenal from start to finish! The second act was a letdown. In total the show is well worth attending.

TERRIFIC WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS
I’m a long time Fiddler fan ... even played Lazar Wolf in high school. I loved how this
production cast younger leads than other productions. That was more in keeping with the
source material and made better sense considering the ages of the daughters. I was looking
forward to the idea of having Tevye’s descendant opening and closing the show, but it just
didn’t work.
Casting was uneven. Secondary leads like the Constable, Rabbi, Lazar and Yente were Ok, but
not memorable. Yente, the broadest, funniest, most beloved character was flat and blended
into the background. Traditional huge laughs were hurried through and missed the mark. She
even flubbed a line in the Gossip bit that the Tzeitel character had to help recover.
In general, I found that many songs and key speeches were paced a little too fast, missing big
laughs. On the positive side, I loved the big numbers like Sunrise, Sunset, the Dream
Sequence and Chavala. The entire “To Life” scene was phenomenal

ALWAYS A FAVORITE
Overall I loved the production. I saw it at the Fox Theater in St Louis last night. The opening number was magnificent as was the dream sequence. The singing of the main characters was very good particularly the performer who played Hodel. I did, however, wish they had mixed more volume and bass in the male leads. I was disappointed in the bar scene as I did not feel that the costumes or choreography made it very clear that there were the distinctly two factions of townspeople participating. I also felt like they should have done a bit of padding in the Golde costume and made her look a bit older. Set design was good albeit a bit distracting with so many chorus characters constantly moving trees, etc while other dialogue is going on. Orchestration was wonderful as always with the Fox orchestra.

OUTSTANDING TEVYE
A most enthusiastic cast, with superb dancers. The new choreography and staging is far better than the original. The Israeli actor playing Tevye is astonishing good as an actor and singer - and I’ve seen Zero Mostel and others play this role. Alas, Golde, his wife, lacks soul, never captures that Jewish mother/wife essence under the hardness. Yenta is terrible; shocking she was cast. The oldest daughter is excellent; the youngest can act but lacks the voice. The rabbi and other men also lack voice power and/or acting chops. Still, go see it, for Tevye and the dancing! You will cry and fall in love with the show again, anyway.

PACE WAS TOO QUICK
From the start, I thought Tevye who ended up being quite good, was talking to quickly, missing important places for emphasis on several important places... did not use space as a dramatic opportunity. A slower more poignant presentation of lines for Tevya and Golda could have been useful. I have seen Fiddler at least 4-5 times. Love the play and have tears each time. GREAT Dancing.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
I saw the show on Tuesday night. It was excellent. The dancing and singing were very good. However, the lead actor was a poor speaker.
He ran through his lines rapidly and without expression or punctuation. Many times I did not catch what he was saying. That's a big flaw in the otherwise superb performance. And it made both the beginning and ending much less
effective.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
Loved the 1st half of the show. Was very
bored after intermission and disappointed
to not see a better moment of the "fiddler".
Felt like I didn't get my money's worth. We (
a friend & myself) left the show, which I had
seen twice awhile back, feeling "That's it??"
