I saw FIDDLER last night at NCT and please, let me say. So moving. So beautiful. If you have a chance to see it or are in the Raleigh area, please go! Highlights:

Pauline Cobrda as YENTE. So three dimentional. Her stirring turn in the Act II closer, "Anetevka" brought me...and her, to tears.

Michael Hunsaker as PERCHICK. So full of life. So selfless. and not too shabby on the eyes.

I have to say, the most moving part of the evening was when HAKEIM BOO made his NCT debut during the Chava Ballet, "CHAVALA". He walked out, sat next to Paul Sorvino (a Mensch as TEVYE) and so simply, took his hand. I do not think i have been so moved.

If anyone has seen it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

FIDDLER IS PLAYING THROUGH JANUARY 31ST.

Hi.

I'm glad you liked the show. Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm gonna tell Pauline what you said about her...she's a sweetheart and will probably cry when she sees you said something so nice.

I hope other people get to catch it that are on this board. You did forget to mention my performance as "Yitzuk/Ensemble" and how MOVING I was. And how awesome Carolann (Golde) is...I just LOVE her.
