Directed by Joel Grey and starring a very talented cast, most of whom learned Yiddish in a few weeks, Fiddler has gotten rave reviews in the media.
One of the accomplished cast members is Adam B. Shapiro, who plays the role of the town rabbi and is understudying the role of Tevye. He has made some YouTube videos called One Man Broadway, in which he plays all of the major characters. Today we're sharing a video that he made singing The Dream from the show, playing the roles of Tevye, Golde, Grandma Tzeitel, and the butcher's departed wife Fruma Sarah.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThe yiddish was very americanized, but minor issue for most of the audience........the actors were all A+!!!! not one weak member of the show. not one.
And there are English "subtitles".......but for me enjoying the yiddish was wonderful. wonderful to remember and recall those words and terms for me....I ENCOURAGE ALL TO GO AND ENJOY! and the cafeteria is also a great value.
