Russians are supposed to hold their vodka, unlike the Jews. What happened?

Tevye's beard is sooo fake

[LordCHull]

I cant put my finger on what the Tevye in this accent in this is, but its not yiddish

Alfred Molina? Italian. But yes, there were quite a few Jewish actors in the production. But...yeah, that's what the reviews were saying, initially. Anyway, you're right about the research. I'm Jewish, but in my production, I didn't leave much to chance. I did a lot of research. Still, when all was said and done, and I can say this because I AM Jewish, get a bunch of us in the room and there are always arguments! LOL! Some of us disagreed on certain choices that were made. Oh, well!

weird. i think only a bit of effort is involved to make it sound authentic. research thats it. at least the tallitot look good not like some productions where its literally a self made sheet...oy. i cant imagine the broadway version not being jewish enough? werent most of the actors playing jews actually jews?

[suejvin]

That's too bad. It can be such a good show!

I don't know why I got a thumbs down, either! When they did the remake of Fiddler on Broadway a couple of years ago, all the reviews on that one said it, too. It wasn't "Jewish enough." I directed Fiddler in 2007 for a non-professional theatre, and let me tell ya, every one of my actors, mostly "goyim," sounded like a "real frum chasid."

[Lotrfan99]

dont know why you got a thumbs down for that but i agree. if you play a jew try to sound like a real frum chasid.
