I see the understudy has been going on and now according to his Instagram picture ; at least in this stop he is fully credited as Tevye? Danny Arnold is his name.

He shows the playbill in his story feed. I don’t know how to link to Instagram.

I saw Danny Arnold as Tevye back on November 25th when the tour came through Pittsburgh and thoroughly enjoyed his performance. He has a great voice and wonderful comedic timing. I’m actually glad I got to see him over Yehezkel Lazarov. 

There’s more commentary and pictures starting with Post 40 in the other thread...

That’s kind of a shame. I was looking forward to seeing Yehezkel Lazarov.

While I'm sure Arnold is great, Lazarov was incredible. Big hit to the tour if he is out.

I really don’t think it’s a “big hit” to the tour as some would think, as Lazarov had zero name recognition to all those I talked to in Pittsburgh despite his credentials. The tour - “Fiddler on the Roof” - with its name recognition, carries its own weight based on the ensemble as much as the leads.

I don’t really know, but I saw the matinee performance in Pittsburgh the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Lazarov came out as Tevye for the opening number and he sounded very ill. His voice was terribly strained. After the opening number, the understudy (presumably Arnold) came on as Tevye for the rest of the show.

I wonder they are just having him sit out a few stops so he can heal?
