Review: National Tour of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Establishes a New Tradition at DCPA Photo
What did our critic think of NATIONAL TOUR OF FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at DCPA? The summer after high school, I was in a local community theatre production of Fiddler on the Roof. Though the show was already an established classic, I generally remember that summer as one where I watched the other 'sons' and 'daughters' my age bond while the director felt my baby-face would be better used as a 'papa.' Needless to say, it was not my favorite musical experience. The First National Tour, however, is a production I will carry with be for the rest of my life.
