And the original stage version ain’t so bad either!

In my first job in the music business, I got to know Fiddler’s creators, Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joe Stein very well. They were extraordinary gentlemen who were very generous to me in many ways.

Fiddler is one of those musicals— like Carousel, The Sound Of Music, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd and Chicago among others— that have a perfect combination of creative disciplines creating a completely integrated production.

I’m sure you enjoyed it, elleng!
