Fiddler on the Roof
by ArtsLoverPhx on 3/17/13Orpheum Theatre - PhoenixFiddler on the Roof is one of my most favorite movies and was looking forward to seeing the play. There was certainly nothing spectacular about it. There are many local productions of Fiddler on the Roof but I decided to wait for this Broadway Production and I was clearly disappointed. Not sure if the troupe coming to Phoenix were the understudy but I found that it lacked depth, both in the the singing and the acting.. The acoustics were not very good as well and even though we had good seats, they were certainly not the very best for this particular show. I also found the orchestra to be fine, but especially the drumming to be a little of of context with the score (possibly a bit too excessive or lacked variation). I would certainly have much better expectations of a Broadway Musical and this had more the makings of a local production.
