The fiddler
Don't forget - at the end, the Fiddler comes down off the roof and follows Tevye and his Family. They are bringing their traditions with them to America.

Does Hamilton have a book?
Yes - a show does not have to have spoken dialogue to have a "book".
Scores you think sound better with just piano arrangement
The 1996 Off=Broadway revival of I DO, I DO (with Karen Ziemba and David Garrison) had great two-piano accompaniment. It made you think, "Oh yeah - this was written by the authors of THE FANTASTICKS!"
Funny Girl - Broadway
I think Anna Kendrick should do it, so Lea Michele's head explodes.
Wicked with Amanda Seyfried and Anna Kendrick
This discussion makes me wonder how freakin' jealous Lea Michele must be of Anna Kendrick's career.
Abby Mueller to Star in Beautiful National Tour
On TV, Jim Belushi and Brian Doyle-Murray attempted to replace their more talented brothers on SNL.
Fiddler on the Roof is BACK: November 2015
Sally Murphy was 38 when she played Tzeitel (who, according to Golde, is "not yet 20") in the last revival.
SF Opera's SHOW BOAT coming to the big screen
I imagine Bill Irwin must be great in the scene where Captain Andy acts out the big fight in the melodrama, and knocks himself out.
The king and I previews thread
Maybe they should have cast GEDDE Watanabe.
Kelly Clarkson in
She'd make a good Annie Oakley.
The King and I Revival
The Beaumont has HUGE amounts of wing space. It was originally designed to house a rotating repertory company - with enough room backstage to house complete sets for three productions, that could be wheeled on and off the stage.
Anyone seen The Last Sip previews?
Someone should start a thread about it!
Has anybody seen the new Annie tour?
It should also be noted that is a NON-EQUITY production.
Favorite Same-Sex Duets
"Grand Old Ivy" and "Company Way" from HOW TO SUCCEED...
How was Aida NOT nominated for Best Musical?
"Considering Contact had no book..." Tell that to John Weidman, the book writer. It had characters, plot and dialogue. Saying it had no book is like saying Les Miz has no book because everything is sung.
Little Dancer
"Sunday in the Park With George" meets "Contact?"
Why aren't there more horror-themed plays on Broadway?
There was a Broadway stage version of Frankenstein in the late 70's/early 80's that turned out to be the biggest money-losing flop non-musical in history. We recently had Lestat, Dance of the Vampires and Dracula the Musical all flop within two seasons.
Damn Yankees or gay erotica?
The Neuwirth/Garber revival featured a locker room/shower scene with a flash of Greg Jbara's rear, but at least the ball players had realistic bodies, and the scene was played for laughs.
Neurotic/Awkward Male Characters
Harry Witherspoon in Lucky Stiff. Benjy Stone in My Favorite Year. Morris Brummel in No Way to Treat a Lady. Toad in A Year With Frog and Toad
Audra offered lead in film version of Hello Again
I suppose they could re-write it to be like David Hare's "Blue Room" (also based on La Ronde), in which one couple played all the roles (and in which Nicole Kidman had a notorious nude scene on Broadway). Otherwise, yes, there are five men and five women, all with equal sized roles.
