The crocuses, cherry blossoms, and azaleas will be in full bloom, as the nation's capital will be awash in beautiful colors. It's the perfect time to visit and see some great shows in our DC area theatres.

When a property as old and as sacred as FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is revived for new audiences, one would expect either a fresh, new take on a familiar show, or a disastrous series of experiments that disparages its source material. Neither is the case in the current touring production of the classic stage musical. For those seeking a safe, well-executed return to a good, old-fashioned book musical, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF fits the (play)bill nicely.
While their show's in town, cast members of the current 'Farewell Tour' of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF starring Topol will be 'Fiddlin' Around' at Hollywood's famed Gardenia Supper Club in a one-night-only cabaret, silent auction, and raffle benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the nation's leading entertainment industry-based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-issuing organization.
