  1. Swithin, I saw Danny Burstein as "Billis" in the revival of "South Pacific" at Lincoln Center with Kelly O'Hara and he was wonderful as was the entire production. So I think he would make an excellent Tevye. As for Alfred Molina, I saw him in the 2004 production of Fiddler On The Roof, and Mr. Harnick is correct that Mr. Molina's performance was "held back". You could sense that he wanted to really give more but was constrained and as per your conversation with Sheldon Harnick, the direction of this production was not good. I'm a big fan of Alfred Molina - so perhaps he could come back in another production of Fiddler that would match his great acting ability. Still, I saw Fiddler with Zero Mostel four times - two times during the original Broadway cast production and twice during the revival. He's the master in this role. I was truly disappointed when he was not cast as Tevye in the movie.

  2. TopBilled, I loved the photo you posted of Jerry Lewis' characters in "The Family Jewels". It looks as though it may have been used in billboard advertisements for the movie.  I haven't learned yet (hopefully I will) how to post anything on this website.

  4. Princess, You're correct. It's Hal Linden. BTW, I first saw Hal Linden in the Broadway musical Wildcat starring Lucille Ball. Lucy was absolutely marvelous and on stage in almost every scene and musical number. One of my favorite Broadway musicals.

     

    Princess, the thread is yours.
