I got through the whole 8 minutes, and I loved it!

I love when casts do crazy sh*t like that. And Fruma Sarah was the logical choice.

It is long, but worth it.

An 8 minute diversion from the division!

Fun...really works because it's Fiddler...seeing Yente dance to a disco beat.

Topol was game!

I love Alison, but that version doesnt hit the stratosphere like she does in the opera.

Fantastic.

I've done FIDDLER many times and each time the cast was equally as crazy.

Glad to see it wasn't just us.

Fabulous video.

The clips are from various TV shows that featured theater pieces or personalities. Some are from Broadway shows, some...are from Variety show performances that make "Good Vibrations" look like high art.

The song is sung by Alison Jiear (who makes a cameo "Where's Waldo" appearance in the clip) and is an edit of a remix done by Wayne G.

Enjoy!

I don't like the fact that the first time you hear the line "If people think I am a whore" and they show Patti...


That's wrong.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 5/21/08 at 3:35pm

[doodlenyc]
