Fiddler on the roof



If I were a rich man... já dizia a minha professora de inglês para nos ensinar esta declinação.

Da wikipedia:

Fiddler on the Roof is a musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein, set in Tsarist Russia in 1905. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each daughter's choice of husband moves progressively further away from established customs—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. … The Fiddler is a metaphor for survival, through tradition and joyfulness, in a life of uncertainty and imbalance.


Vamos nós ver um musical à espera de palhaçadas e canções castiças (à Andrew Lloyd Weber) e sai-nos uma peça sobre família, tradição e perseguições anti-semitas. Mas muito bem conseguido. E o Teatro Savoy é espectacular. E ao contrário dos outros teatros de Londres, desce-se vários níveis para a plateia.
