	Talkin' Broadway Review: Fiddler on the Roof
		Fiddler on the Roof Based on the Sholom Aleichem stories by special permission of Arnold Perl.
		It's spoken by the philosophizing milkman Tevye at the end of the first song, "Tradition": "Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof!" Even with a few of those traditions visible onstage, this production is mighty shaky.
		Leveaux's demanding that one mediocre song be replaced by an equally mediocre one, and his choice to steep the production so fully in darkness and sadness, strongly suggest he doesn't understand or respect the material that has proven a cherished classic for almost 40 years.

		This juggling act, symbolized by a fiddler sawing out a tune perched precariously on a rooftop, has Tevye turning to God for guidance and some kind of uneasy reconciliation.
		Fiddler on the Roof is a warm and personal movie filled with the humanity and substance that made Solomon Rabinowitch one of Russia's most beloved writers.
		The trials and tribulations of Tevye, played by the instantly likeable Topol (who always looks and sounds half drunk) are brought to life by terrific performances, a commitment to authenticity by Jewison, and by rousing musical numbers that must have been marvellous to behold in a packed Broadway theatre.

	Parent Previews: Fiddler On The Roof
		In pre-revolutionary Russia, one's existence is as precarious as a fiddler on the roof.
		Based on the short stories of Sholom Aleichem, and receiving recognition first as a stage play, Fiddler on the Roof chronicles the flood of change that pours into this humble milkman's life, eroding much of what he took for granted, and reshaping his future.
		While these complex themes, some violence connected with the political conflict, and the fantastical depiction of a nightmare may be too much for very young viewers, for the rest of the family this film's inspiring celebration of the tenacity of the human spirit is sure to appeal to Jew and Gentile alike.

	Fiddler on the Roof - Review - Arts - Entertainment - smh.com.au
		When Topol first performed the role of the milkman Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof in London in 1967, he was an unknown Israeli actor who was instantly acclaimed for an extraordinary performance.
		As was the case when I saw Topol perform the role in Melbourne in 1998, his easygoing command suggests he gains a sustaining power from the truths and paradoxes that Fiddler on the Roof's creators drew from Shalom Alcheim's tales of late 19th-century Jewish life in Russia.
		Fiddler's best-known songs are in Act I - Tradition, Matchmaker, If I Were a Rich Man and Sunrise, Sunset - and Jerry Bock's tuneful, sweet score is tinged with sorrow.

	"Fiddler on the Roof" - Newsday.com
		In David Leveaux's handsome, intelligent, radically reconceived "Fiddler," which opened last night at the Minskoff Theatre with Alfred Molina as an appealing Tevye, there are even white birch trees - the haunting Chekhovian foliage of choice - to connect the dots between the Jewish and Russian stories in the early 1900s.
		Scenery, however, is the least of the differences between this "Fiddler" and the Tevye industry that has been countlessly replicated for 40 years and fortysomething polyglot cast albums.
		There's unintended irony, considering this production, in Tevye's evolving philosophy: "Without our tradition, life would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof." But the final tableau, as villagers leave for lives unknown, is a shimmering, wistful silhouette.

		Fiddler On The Roof, adapted from the works of Yiddish storyteller Sholom Aleichum, has charmed audiences for more than 40 years.
		Created in the early 1960s when the musical - traditionally a light entertainment - was aspiring to a new level of dramatic seriousness, the action takes place in the small Russian village of Anatevka, where a Jewish community faces threats to its long-held traditions and values.
		The chorus numbers, in particular, were breathtaking, from the folk dancing in Tradition to the dream sequence, with its gigantic evil spirit and operatic splendour.

		The Musical Theatre Guild's production of Joseph Stein's Fiddler on the Roof provides an enjoyable evening, even if at times the events on stage don't really spring to life and the focus is misguided.
		The plot draws out themes of change and progress.Set in Anatevka, a Russian village, on the eve of the revolution, the show places the overall change of Russia in balance with the change of "tradition" within individual towns and families.
		While the Fiddler performed excellently on her solos, at other times she attempted to fake playing with the orchestra.
