Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. The words that come to mind to describe this production are thrilling, breathtaking, captivating, moving and simply brilliant from beginning to end. If Steve Skybell was eligible to win the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical I imagine he’d win in a walk. He embodies Tevye, and though I saw both Mostel and Bernardi, he might just be the best Tevye ever. He was wonderful downtown and he seems to have become even more comfortable in the role now.
And I have to say one word about Joel Gray’s direction. Flawless. Simply flawless.
I can’t recommend this show enough, for those of every ethnicity. Do not miss it. |
