I saw the tour last night in Boston and had mixed feelings about the production.
I thought Topol did a fine job. He mumbled a lot. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. I was surprised at the amount of energy he has for a guy in his 70s. Especially during some of the dance scenes, he was jumping around and kicking his legs.
After seeing Topol's portrayal, I am really curious to see someone who hasn't played the role for years.
In terms of the production as a whole, I thought it dragged at many parts. We were in the theater for three hours including intermission.
