| I saw this production a couple of weeks ago and could not agree more with everything you say, hugoP! It's like you invaded my private thoughts and posted them online, lol. I expected the Yiddish to deepen my experience/response but had no idea to what extent. I mean, just hearing in Yiddish: "Sounds crazy, no?" !! What I also wasn't prepared for was the high level of musicianship - from the singing to playing. Tevye's Dream! Shortly into act 1 I thought, 'Well, I don't need to read the titles for the lyrics - I know them backwards and forwards" but, often ended up reading them as well, due to the many changes for scansion; and yes, said changes were indeed interesting. I almost never go back to see a show; there's always too much of interest that I haven't yet seen. But when I realized that if I did go back to this it would be for Skybell, that's when I knew, of all the wonderful Tevyes I've seen, Skybell's is the greatest (and sweetest); and that's saying a lot. (BTW, I'm pretty sure it's spelled Tevye.) Run dont' walk. |
