Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock's beloved Fiddler on the Roof is widely considered the last of Broadway's "Golden Age" musicals. Before its premiere, some producers were concerned that it was "too Jewish" to attract mainstream audiences. However, the touching story and beautiful score proved to capture "the essential human longings for love, community, success, freedom and family." Join instructor James Sokol for a one-time exploration—filled with interesting facts, delightful tidbits and nostalgic video clips—of this perennial favorite!
This lecture was previously presented in September and is being offered again by popular demand.
