Theatre in 1965 (Blogathon ’09 #10)

One of my favorite musicals of all time is Tony Award winning Best Musical Fiddler on the Roof.  This is just a stunning work, both on-stage and on-screen.  Topol is the embodiment of a time and place that no longer exist, and I cry every time!

When I was in high school we did Fiddler on the Roof my sophomore year, and that was when the theatre bug grew into the theatre interest that has brought me to where I am today.  I had always enjoyed theatre and thought it was a fun hobby, but that was the time when I realized that I needed to spend all my free time in rehearsal!

Fun fact: Fiddler on the Roof was the first run of a musical in history to surpass the 3,000 performance mark!

Once I start getting tired from the Blogathon, I’ll most likely pop in the Fiddler on the Roof DVD!
