Who’s had enough Fiddler content? Not me, apparently.
Mackenzie and I chatted about this production on the Cup of Hemlock Theatre podcast – link here. If you’d like to hear my more upbeat take on the Fiddler material, I encourage you to give this one a watch/listen. I don’t bring up modern-day antisemitism until 70 minutes in, so that’s fun.
TLDW/L (“too long didn’t watch/listen”): See this show, duh.

Hi Lori it’s Marnie, Ashley’s friend. I have not yet listened to your podcast but just want to weigh in that I *loved* the production of Fiddler in Yiddish. I have seen Fiddler on Broadway at least twice, in Little Fork, MT once (they didn’t quite nail the Hebrew blessing in that one), and of course on TV. The Yiddish made it more authentic, and the Hebrew translation to English somehow made it make more sense (from “we starved together” to “we fasted together”–similar but big difference!!)
Anyway, I want also to tell you I am a fan of your writing and commentary.
Keep it coming!
Regards,
Marnie
