Fiddler on the Roof - in Yiddish ! Interview with Star Steven Skybell and Director Joel Grey
We saw the new Folksbiene production of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish when it first came out last year. Since then we've been talking about it with friends who joined the crowds who trekked down to the tip of Manhattan to see the production that was extended many times.
Now it's moved to an off-Broadway location for an extended run through September 1.
In an interview with Laura Heywood than runs for 30 minutes, Steven Skybell, the actor who plays the lead role of Tevye, and Joel Grey, Oscar and Tony award winning actor and the show's director, sit down in front of a studio audience and tell their personal stories about the show and what it means to them.
It's a somewhat longer video than we usually post, but we think it's worth the time to watch.
Enjoy!
