KingSpeed-
I was using Fiddler as an example of a genuinely crafted show that would be killed by all these effects so currently valued at such a premium.

I am sorry you chose to pick that one item from my post and not respond to my overall perspective.

The Tevya and his Daughters was a Play of the Week based on the stories and Arnold Perl got a special credit and royalty to him and his widow on all productions of the Fiddler musical.

That was really just a billing thing. Perl threatened to cause problems if they didn't give him credit and royalties.

I don't think that Tevya and His Daughters was a Play of the Week. The World of Sholom Aleichem was on Play of the Week, and it was quite wonderful (and is now available on DVD).
