I saw it last night. The performance and writing are brilliant. Zero Mostel's arrogance, his rage, his absolute integrity, his indefatiguable comic genius, all of these are magnificently on display here.
It's only got two more shows, at St Clements, 90 minutes with no intermission, tonight at 7:30 and Sunday at 3pm.
The history of the black list, the story of how deeply Mostel's life intersected Tevye's, and the incessant, laugh-out-loud jokes. It's a rivetting, defiant, exhilarating performance. |
