Perhaps the most famous musical of the Jerry Bock-Sheldon Harnick 'trifecta'. Pop quiz--What are the other two? Good luck.

@Juliaflo  "She Loves Me" and "Fiorello"

[Juliaflo]

@chgoboy69 Correct. Someone besides me knows the musical theater ampersands.

God speed.

@Juliaflo Thanks! Too bad that neither one of these delightful shows was ever filmed. Apparently there was a film of "She Loves Me" planned for Julie Andrews, but never went past the announcement stage.

Chava and her mother first - The bond the parents has with their child.

Chava with her sisters - The parents let their child grow up, and interact with others.

Chava and the fiddler/Fyedka - Chava and the fiddler is a young girl with her own wants against tradition. Chava and Fyedka is of course what happens in the end, and the fiddler/tradition is left standing behind in the fading sunset of childhood.

...Or that's the way I see it lol...

I love this film.

They are all Ukranians. Hodel married Perchik, who was a Jew. Chava married a Christian. That is why Tevye rejected her.

This song reminds me of my ex,i'm a grown man and I cry when I hear it. I usually hate reading soppy self indulgent, over emotional comments in dedication to someone.She really was my little bird,I use to call her that,the words describe her perfectly,a truly beautiful soul.Stella,if you ever read this,you will know that this is meant for you.I'm sorry everyday for throwing you away,and I hope you find real happiness.I will love you till the day I die.

This scene and the song Sunrise, Sunset are so moving. They are both so emotional and beautiful.

I'm not Chava but I play the young Chava dancer, so I assume this is the piece I'm doing!! Yay!

This is one of the most beautiful scenes i've ever seen!

Just like the movie... a masterpiece!

I get to play Chava. I can not wait to do this sequence! It's so touching.

I'm using this song for an audition where our song and monologue must be split between 90 seconds. I wanted a good meaningful bass song that I don't have to take too much out of context.

LOOK, how does anyone hit the like button and wound up here in the first place???? I mean even in the realm of Theater and stage performance, go back to your grindcore death metal. By the way, thank you for the posted video, some of us do appreciate this timeless masterpiece.

@LaurGirl2014 . No, Perchik was Russian and a Jew. Hodel was Russian and a Jew. Chava was Russian and a Jew. The boy she married, Fyedica, was a Russian and a Christian!
