i'm Hodel in my production, and I'm really looking forward to doing this song :) it might be a little awkward because the guy who plays Perchick is shorter and younger than me and we've never even met before until today, but i think we'll be more comfortable by opening night :P i love this song <3
This is an excellent rendition of this song. The quips of shouting make the performance memorable, plus the singer is very good on his own. I recently played the role of Perchik in a middle school production of Fiddler on the Roof, and since then the show has become my favorite musical of all time.
@DentistTenor yes! in my show of guys and dolls, sky and i are the same height but with my shoes i am a bit taller than him, but its fine. by the way u have an amazing voice!!
I think this was one of the stronger songs in the show and thought it was too bad that it left out of the movie. Maybe too light for Paul Michael Glasser's ultra serious revolutionary in Jewison's vision.
I am Perchik in a community production of Fiddler. I can't help but to compare myself. He has a good voice, I just don't enjoy his acting to much. And that little grin he has the whole time.
I teach an acting course and I have used this clip to show how exactly to sing this song. When he is sitting on the step--the ease in which he sings and acts. The confidence that his character is displaying ---the small, subtle gestures. He makes it look easy and it is correct for his character--a character that is very sure that he is right about everything and everyone else 'just doesn't get it'. Very Well Done.
Yes, he is sure of himself, but he is also an intellectual that is very reserved. He can look proud while still being modest. Watch the actor in the movie when she says yes.
no. but its in the actual musical. its a shame too because i think its better than motel's solo song. just some productions take it out for who knows what reason
The kiss isn't in the script, I'm playing Hodel and there is a kiss when he asks her to merry him, but my perchik and I didn't kiss yet...but maybe we have to kiss too
wow i wish i had a voice like that im auditioning for perchick and about the kiss, if the director wants you to kiss then do it, its aonly acting remember its not you its the charcater
This is the best perchick i've seen yet. I just found out that I'm playing Hodel (I still have no idea who playing perchick! HA!). But i didn't know about this song when i tried out, and i didn't know about the kissing at the end. Is that in the script? Yikes! I hope my perchicks handsome!
The kiss isnt in the script, and nobody ever really does it because it wasn't kosher back in those days until after you were wed. But great job on the song! I'll be uploading my production of fiddler to youtube as soon as i get the video.
Wait - IS THAT KISS IN THE SCRIPT?!?!?!?!? Like, does everyone do it, or was this just anexecutive decision for this particular production? Because I'm probably getting Hodel and the guy playing Perchik is already cast and he's the same age as my dad. :/
Oy vey. I'm in a play, too, and I'm the only character with a kissing scene. =/
If the kiss scene arises, privatley let the director know that it would make you more comfortable if you did something like the "hat kiss"--where the guy takes off his hat and puts it over your faces and pretends to kiss you. Back then, people kissed behind hats and stuff. lol I hope everything goes well with you!
HOWEVER... these two leads have absolutely FANTASTIC chemistry, and that's something you can't fake. I truly believed it when they were singing to each other. Good job!!
I agree, the chemistry is phenomenal! I'm playing Hodel and my best friend is playing Perchik in my school's production, I hope we can achieve the same effect!
I played Hodel and I liked it because I got to sing the most out of all the daughters I sang in Match Maker, Now I have Everything and Far From the Home I Love. Hope that helped.
One of my friend is going to be Perchik and I hope he can sing as well as him! Haven't heard him sing so im looking forward to seeing Fiddler on the Roof!
WOW. You guys have AMAZING voices!! And the acting whilst you are singing is so good too! You've really managed to bring this song across well - brilliant! Well done!
Trying out for this play next week. I'd love to be Hodel or Chava, but as one of the youngest actresses trying out I'm aiming for Sprintze first.

I love this song, but I HATE that the composer didn't let the chord resolve at the end.
it's in the Key of G, and ends on an E.... that doesn't make sense.
It'd make more sense if it ended on a G, which is higher, but its much bigger and shows range. just my opinion.

I actually think his acting is quite correct. The charming boyish grim is not inappropriate. The casting is lacks the ethnicity for this work.

I loved playing this role.
Prolly my favorite male lead in this show.
Just keep working on those high notes! Then that last note will feel so natural!
