  Fiddler on the Roof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiddler on the Roof is one of the great stage and film musicals.
A lone fiddler standing on a roof plays a tune as Tevye enters to speak to the audience about the customs of his people and about how they have lived all their lives in Anatevka.
Everyone says their good-byes and the Fiddler is invited along with Tevye (the original theatrical ending and the movie's ending) or is left behind in Anatevka (the new revival's ending).

In the George Romero film Land of the Dead, Fiddler's Green is humanity's last refuge from the zombies.

They are called fiddler crabs because the males have one enormous claw, held in front of the body like a fiddle.
Fiddler crabs are poor swimmers and rarely enter the water during their adult lives.

 Chesapeake Bay Program - Critter of the Month
Male fiddlers are easy to identify by their enlarged fiddler claws, which they wave or saw back and forth in a "fiddling" motion–not to fight predators, but to attract mates and discourage rivals.
In addition to their distinctive claws, fiddlers are known for their interesting habit of creating tidy and sometimes elaborate burrows for mating, sleeping and "hibernating" during winter, and temporary burrows for refuge from predators during feeding times.
Fiddlers dig temporary burrows to protect themselves from predators during feeding, but they dig more permanent burrows for mating and sleeping, which often are tidier and more elaborate, and which they defend.

 Fiddler Crab Explanation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
They use their mouthparts to scrape food materials (decaying organic matter, unicellular plants such as algae, etc.) from the sediment, and then deposit the sediment back down on the ground as a "feeding pellet." The chelipeds are not used to grip or crush things, the way most crabs use their chelipeds.
Male fiddler crabs, during the breeding period (which happens every 2 weeks for most of the summer) maintain small, cylindrical burrows which they defend vigorously from other males.
Now, this is not remarkable in itself, since all fiddlers, males and females, dig small burrows at high tide and use them for shelter from the incoming water.

 village voice > news > Fiddling With Fiddler by Alisa Solomon
Fiddler was one of the first musicals to use a turntable, but that is hardly revolutionary anymore.
The primary audience to whom Fiddler originally spoke—American Jews in the throes of upward mobility and dispersion from concentrated urban communities into the goyish suburbs—no longer needs to stake a claim to an ethnic past nor be assured of being fully American.
Fiddler evokes pogroms in which Jews were taunted, humiliated, and dispossessed of their lands by state authorities.
