For this TBT episode, we look back at one of 'Half Hour Call's' first episodes with the talented Melanie Moore. She is currently one of the sisters in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, which runs through December 31st on Broadway. This episode was a blast! We talk about her time in the show FINDING NEVERLAND, and her experience on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. We also dive into her role as Chava in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and much, much more!

Four-time Tony Award Nominee Judy Kuhn(Fun Home, She Loves Me, Chess, Les Miserables) joins the cast of Fiddler on the Roof as Golde beginning tonight, Tuesday, November 22nd and will play through the show's final performance on Saturday, December 31st at 2:00 pm.  She takes over the role from Jessica Hecht whose final performance was on Sunday, November 20th.

The holiday season is not complete without the perfect music to accompany it. 'Broadway's Carols for a Cure' is the latest compilation album that embodies the spirit of the season like nothing else can. A project born completely out of love, 'Broadway's Carols for a Cure' pairs the casts from famous Broadway musicals with songs that are both classic and new. The result is pure gold that will make you reach for the 'repeat' button over and over again.

What happens backstage on Broadway moments before the curtain goes up? Randy Rainbow is finding out in his latest, BroadwayWorld exclusive series, Last Minute with Randy Rainbow, in which he drops by the dressing rooms of Broadway's biggest stars at literally (you guessed it) the last minute before the overture begins. 

Just announced, four-time Tony Award Nominee Judy Kuhn (Fun Home, She Loves Me, Chess, Les Miserables) will join the cast of Fiddler on the Roof as Golde.

Producers of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF have cancelled the Tuesday performance on October 11th, which falls out on the evening of Yom Kippur, to give company members who observe the holiday the ability to do so.

Hello and welcome to BWW's ON THIS DAY Series! Please read along as, each day, we celebrate birthdays, shows' openings and all kinds of theatrical events that have happened on this date.

We're drinking tequila and lemonade as we get Broadwaysted with new #FriendOfTheShow Samantha Massell from Broadway's FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.  On this week's episode, Bryan and Samantha talk summer camp experiences, Sam shares her excitement to see her INTO THE WOODS mom Heather Headley in THE COLOR PURPLE, and then divulges the fascinating ways she prepared for her current Broadway role. 

Actor, vocalist and activist Theodore Bikel died July 21, 2015 at age 91 in Los Angeles. He will be remembered in a memorial concert in New York City, titled 'Remembering Theo - an evening of music, laughter and love,' September 27 in The Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College (68th Street between Park and Lexington Ave.). The evening will feature musical performances by many of Bikel's friends and treasured colleagues.

Along with the blaring burlesque trumpet that climaxes GYPSY's overture, the soft and hesitant sound of Fiddler on the Roof's opening fiddle solo that leads into Tevye's introduction of the people of Anatevka is among Broadway's most famous and beloved orchestral moments.

Though Herschel Bernardi's name was above the title on the opening nights of Broadway's BAJOUR and ZORBA, the musical theatre role he's most known for is one where he came in as a replacement, Teyve in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

Forever bonded with his father through this experience (even wearing pieces of his father's original costume for the role!), the moment marked the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Today, Bernardi speaks exclusively with BWW about his profoundly sentimental and history-making performance!

Two new videos preview her upcoming album, which will feature new solo music by Hall-Tompkins and the current FIDDLER ON THE ROOF revival's arranger Oran Eldor and music director/orchestrator Ted Sperling.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is a musical about traditions, but Silber's way of handing her role over may be completely new.

Fiddler on the Roof's Jessica Vosk haunted Tevye's last dream on August 7th, and Wicked's, Dee Roscioli assumes the role of Fruma-Sarah beginning tonight, August 11th at The Broadway Theatre (1681 Broadway, at 53rd Street).
