You know how Tevye is just living and then things happen and he’s just like: wAit— *looks up at God* Not cool, my guy…? Yeah, I felt that.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF 1971

As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick. Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken.

FULLY one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen. I know maybe like three words of Yiddish in total, but I actually think having the whole production in that language is strongly to it’s advantage (the supertitles projected on the side of the stage help a lot). I think there’s an added level of… emotion (?) that is added on, which is interesting wrt the provenance of the story and of the show itself. It feels very true.

I think it can be easy for a show with really minimal staging to feel amateurish, but I think in this case, everyone on stage did a really wonderful job of making the really sparse furnishings work in creating a feeling of the spaces in Anatevka that these people have built their lives in.

The dancing was really beautiful. There’s that sequence in the bar/tavern during L’Chaim/To Life and then during Tzeitel and Motl’s wedding celebration that kind of blew my mind, seeing it on stage.

Steven Skybell is definitely my favorite Tevye

#Tbf my frame of reference is the 1971 film and the Alfred Molina Broadway cast album… but this was amazing #fiddler on the roof #joel grey #Steven skybell

Speaking of jewish works, I really loved the 1971 film fiddler on the roof. Actually the bottle dance scene is still something I go back to watch on youtube because there's something about the choreography and the camera work that is very satisfying. I am not jewish nor american so only years later did I learn how much zionists were involved in its production and how it is inspired by a book by sholem aleichem, who was very dedicated in advancing zionism. I might have to rewatch it but I don't remember any zionist rhetoric sticking out? I think the work on its own can still be appreciated if it was ever re-made with non zionists involved, after all the story is part of the history of russian jews' experience. I'm curious how you feel about it

i havent seen fiddler on the roof in a really long time but theres not really zionist messaging, theres not really zionist rhetoric in most of his work, i believe there are some stories he wrote with a distinct zionist message, but the majority of his work is reflective of eastern european jewish culture. hes considered to be one of the founders of yiddish literature, most of what he did in his life was around yiddish cultural production, to bring it up to the same status as other european language literature/art, when yiddish was regarded as an inferior jargon language. sholem aleichem died in 1916 and is a pretty significant figure in yiddish history so ngl i do think his work can be completely appreciated on its own even though i dislike his zionism personally. i think it reflects what i was talking about in my other posts, and this post, about idealistic zionism of people of this time period and how as the zionist project developed it became increasingly unrealistic in the face of the reality of zionism as a settler colonial project. yiddish was repressed heavily in israel and looked down on, so you wonder how he would feel about it.

#also before anyone totally misreads this im not defending him being a zionist #just historically discussing an important figure

hello, dolly! (gene kelly, 1969) being the last old hollywood movie musical and fiddler on the roof (norman jewison, 1971) being one of (if not THE) first new hollywood movie musicals is absolutely incredible to me in terms of both films’ cinematographic approaches and continued cultural relevancy

#hello dolly #fiddler on the roof #both of these films also happen to mean a lot to me but even that aside they really are era markers in and of themselves #hello dolly is so lush and at times campy and such a beautiful tribute to the old school movie musical on the whole and then fiddler comes #in swinging with american new wave meets almost postmodern influence and it blows everyone out of the water #like. truly so impactful
