Fiddler on the Roof Previews — Page 3

I assume Hamilton22, CATSNY and Mr. Nowack have never seen Fiddler on the Roof.  The picture is the set for ACT II Scene 3 - The exterior of the railroad station.  In the scene, Hodel sings "Far From The Home I Love."

And if there was a shtetl and a cart onstage, they would complain it was just the same old Fiddler without seeing it...

Yeah – because the house lights would be up and the stage completely bare during the middle of Act II Scene 3?

A Director said: "GreasedLightning - Isn't it way past your bedtime?

Sorry... you are who?

WHERE IS WHIZZER WHEN YOU NEED THEM

Since we're asking questions: How is the choreography in it, does it honor Jerome Robbins the same way The King and I did? What are the sets and costumes like? Who was the best performer of the night? Does Danny Burstein do very good as Tevye? Were there any surprising moments that no one saw coming (like the ship in The King and I)?

When is the last time a high profile musical revival first preview had no comments on here? 

No response probably means it's mediocre. I knew this revival would tank.

The quality of previous shows has never affected whether people reviewed them quickly or not.

Calm down, girl. Someone will post something factual soon enough that you can interpret as a bad sign.

Someone hold my earrings!

So people are just milling about like it's intermission in the middle of Act II?

And I don't recall that scene ever being played without actors.

Maybe you should see the production before belittling others who are asking a legit question about that odd photo.

Whizzer, we need you here.

A friend of mine and his boyfriend watched it yesterday. They posted a photo from the stagedoor with Danny Burstein on facebook and the caption said "this amazing Fiddler on the roof revival". I wish they wrote reviews for this forum, I want to know more haha (Ive already messaged them asking for details!)

Just like he had the golden touch for Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown, right? The guy has had flops, he doesn't have a "golden touch". Besides, this revival is  a clear case of only being done because an actor is ready to do the role. Even if Broadway is exhausted with this show. 

I'm not against this show ( I love fiddler) but it just seemed strange to me that Sher would rush right into this massive show after JUST tackling King and I. This whole thing sounds rushed to me.
