Crystal and I enjoyed a really special treat last night. We got to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis. What made it even more enjoyable was the fact that Topol, who played the lead character Tevye in the 1971 movie, was performing in person. From what I gather, this is the last time he will play this role in Minneapolis.
Topol has definitely aged, but it was so great to hear his voice. The sets, the dancing, the dialogue were all delightful. It was a great date.
If you’re in the Minneapolis area, the show is playing through March 1. The tickets are a little pricy, but Crystal and I kept a couple seats warm for you up in the nosebleed section.

Oh my!! That brings back so many great memories
of you and your brother dancing around the house,
singing, “If I were a rich man!”
I love that you got to actually see Topol in the role
(especially since I thought he was already dead!!)
I have to admit … I’m so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
