Who: My neighbors and I
What: Fiddler on the Roof, the touring production of the revived classic
When: November 2018
When: November 2018
Where: Hippodrome Theatre, Baltimore, MD
Why: Tradition! Oh, and it was the first show of the Hippodrome's season. Finally!
Thoughts: This was actually my first time seeing a live production of Fiddler (I saw the film once ages ago) and I couldn't have loved it more! The talent was every ounce as good as it would be on Broadway, and the story is so lovely and relevant. Seeing major shifts in culture through Tevye's point of view is so relatable.
It might not have escaped your attention that I saw this production in Baltimore. I saw the show on a Friday, two days after we made national news regarding an incident that took place during Wednesday's performance. Baltimore has a healthy Jewish population and nobody was impressed by what went down. I was so proud to be in an especially enthusiastic audience on Friday that was sure to cheer for every moment of the performance!
Fiddler is a classic for a reason, and I hope you'll take the time to enjoy it if the tour visits a city near you. While you wait, enjoy the most recent cast recording!
