We Saw "The Fiddler On The Roof"

Program for Wednesday evening June 17, 2009

Stage curtain, No pictures allowed, but I snapped a quick one and it shows, no focus.

Outside the Theater.

We parked the van and took the "L". Going there we got there in no time,so we astopped for coffee at the McD next door,... coming back at 11:20PM was another story. They decided to make it an Express train after we hit Jefferson Park. It went all the way to Rosemont exit. Then we had to hike it back to Cumberland. (WHY?) because they were washing the platforms with high power pressure washers. We got home after midnight.

BUT we had a great time humming along with the actors to the songs. Of course we know all the tunes, Stefan still sings his main song...."If I Were A Rich Man..... laa dii dah diii dah diii dum..........."
If you get a chance to get tickets, then go see it. It was a nostalgic trip for us. We saw the movie yyyyyeeeeeaaaarrrrssss ago and it was nice to see the real thing finally on stage.
Topol is supposedly 73 years old now, and has been doing THIS thing for over 2,500 times on stage. His voice was still boominginly loud and strong where it counted.
