You may have already caught wind of this, but what a treat for those who haven’t yet heard: Chaim Topol will be reprising his much beloved role of Tevye in the 2009 national tour of Fiddler on the Roof. Playbill released the announcement in November and states that the new Equity tour is expected to be a more traditional approach to the musical and will be largely in keeping with Jerome Robbins’ original staging. (Yay!)
The tour will hit Newark, Detroit, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San Diego, Providence, Memphis, Pittsburgh, Houston, Tampa, Seattle and beyond, so keep an eye out!
We just attended the tour at the Orpheum in Minneapolis – TOPOL has not lost a step. What a legend!! Magnificent performance!
Great news, thanks for the update! I’m so glad to hear you had the chance to catch the show–I must admit I’m jealous! We haven’t had the pleasure out here in L.A. yet …
