While visiting the MUNY to see their production of Fiddler on the Roof, featuring the world stage premiere of a song originally written for the movie version of the musical, legendary stage composer Sheldon Harnick was inducted into the MUNY Hall of Fame, and BroadwayWorld brings you photos from the event.
Set during a period of great turmoil just prior to the Russian revolution (1905), FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is a joyous celebration of life in times of uncertainty. Most versions I've seen have been scaled down considerably, focusing on the more intimate scenes. That's certainly not the case here. The MUNY's spectacular production gives us the full breadth and scope of Joseph Stein, Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock's thoughtful and heart warming take on themes of family and tradition. Anchored by a particularly strong cast and top notch staging this, is quite simply, perfection!
