Parody in the World of Coronavirus: "Maskmaker, Maskmaker" by Abby Goldfarb


The stay-at-home isolation of this coronavirus era has triggered a bounty of creative parodies of popular songs, many of which are posted on YouTube.

Abby Goldfarb, an actress, singer, and improviser based in New York City has created and performed Maskmaker, Maskmaker, a funny parody of Matchmaker, Matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof. She is a native New Yorker, born and raised in the West Village. Abby is a graduate of Emerson College's BFA Musical Theatre Program (2013).

No stranger to Fiddler, she was seen in the Drama Desk Award winning Fiddler on The Roof in Yiddish, directed by Joel Grey.
