The last time I saw this play, it was the 2008 Broadway revival with John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Patrick Wilson, and Katie Holmes. Click here for my review of that production, and here for my current review.

Review - Fiddler on the Roof at Barrington Stage
Here's my second big-boy review with TheaterMania. This time it's Fiddler on the Roof at the Barrington Stage Company in Pittsfield, Mass.
Fiddler is easily one of my all-time favorite musicals. I currently rank it as number 6 on my list of the 100 Best Musicals of All Time. I think part of my affection for the show comes from the fact that I played Motel the tailor in my high school production of Fiddler. Interestingly enough, it was at a Catholic, all-boys high school. (We imported the girls from our nearby sister school.)
Does the Barrington Stage production, at least in my humble estimation, do this charming and heartfelt show justice? Click here to find out.

Musicals You Should See
- Avenue Q
The original "little show that could." Funny and fresh. Now playing Off-Broadway at the New World Stages. - Matilda
Tremendous fun, with stronger stagecraft, finer performances, a bigger heart, and heartier laughs than any other musical this season - Nice Work If You Can Get It
Terrific cast, hilarious book, and Kathleen Marshall's wonderful choreography. And, oh, those Gershwin songs. - Once
Heartfelt and powerful. Makes you believe again in the power of theater that focuses on people, not spectacle. - The Book of Mormon
Uproariously enjoyable. Profoundly profane, but also surprisingly sweet. - The Fantasticks
A timeless little gem of a show with a universal message. - Wicked
I'm not ashamed to admit it: I love Wicked. Sure, it's a spectacle, but it's got a brain and a heart, too.
