I saw it in the theater twice when it came out and watch it again last night. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think they made some cuts. I remember a whole extra portion about a village called Anatevka in Russia that was modeled after the real thing. I also thought it ended with Sheldon Harnick playing the fiddle to close it the way it started. Maybe I'm wrong. It is a gorgeous documentary, but I do remember it being a bit long in the theatre, and I didn't miss the Anatevka bit.

You watched an abridged TV airing of the documentary. You can watch the full theatrical version online on numerous streaming platforms.

Watched it yesterday, after we both fell asleep watching 1 Man, 2 Guvs.  Not a dry eye in the room.  Don't see that either Boston PBS station is showing it again in the next 2 weeks

I saw this in an art cinema when I was preparing to play Tevye ( the production fell through). I enjoyed it immensely and picked more than a few insights that I hoped to incorporate into my performance.
