"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

He don't know JACK!

Please. Look at his homepage - him in front of a very high tech spray painted logo.

Who knows what the critics will say this evening. Fiddler isn't exactly cutting edge anyway.

Actually, quite a few good reviews this morning... Daily News, Newsday, AP, Star Ledger, USA Today, Variety, Bergen Record. It got a chilly Times notice, but I think they will be OK. 42nd Street and Millie have survived without the Times and I think Fiddler will too.

I've read the NEWSDAY and DAILY NEWS reviews. They aren't "good". The best that can be said about them is they're "mixed".

I loved Ben Brantley's comment that the real star of the show is the roof!

Well, I have to differ with you on that, Dolly. Linda Winer in Newsday and Howard Kissell in the Daily News both raise some (justified) issues, but the tone of both reviews is positive.

Yeah but even the reviews with "positive tones" fail to make this a must see. And the Minskoff is a hard house to survive in. Updated On: 2/27/04 at 04:32 PM

That may prove to be so. But ordinary people don't pour over the reviews the way we do here. The show was selling well before the reviews came out, so I don't expect the bottom will fall out immediately. They have plenty of good quotes to pull from, and they have a TV commercial that reportedly hit the air this morning. We'll see how it plays out over the next few weeks...

Well I hope it does well. Would hate a production of Fiddler not to have a decent run.

The commercial was definitely better than the show.
