I just got back from seeing the joint Herritage/Jewish Theatre presentation of Fiddler on the Roof. Fiddler is just a classic musical; the songs and story have become so familiar that the show just feels comfortable. I enjoyed this production but at some points the narrative scenes were dragging and i was thinking "stop talking and start singing and dancing." They did a nice job of pulling off the famous bottle dance. Ultimately i felt for Tevye as he dealt with a world changing around him, his daughters leaving the house, and the traditions of his village disappearing.
It's nice to not be involved in a show of your own so you can go and see other people in shows. My current freedom won't be lasting that long. I got an e-mail informing me that Lady's Not For Burning Rehearsals begin July 11. I really have to get serious now about learning my lines.
