Teyve is coming back.
Producers Jeffrey Richards and Jerry Frankel said Thursday that they will present a revival of "Fiddler on the Roof" — one of the last great musicals of Broadway's Golden Age — in the fall of 2015.
It will represent the fifth revival of the show, which features lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, music by Jerry Bock and a story by Joseph Stein.
There was no word on casting, although Bartlett Sher will direct and choreography will be by Hofesh Shechter, adapting Jerome Robbins' original work.
The Tony Award-winning musical about a Jewish milkman from the Ukrainian village of Anatevka is based on stories by Sholom Aleichem. It centers on Tevye, a poor Orthodox Jew with five rebellious daughters.
A man’s whole world starts to fall apart and his only refuge is in his God and his religion.
The value of such a story will never end.
They’ll probably make a good bit of money investing in this. Wouldn’t you love to have been an investor in “The Phantom of the Opera” or “Wicked”?
You’ll make MUCH more money just doing it the way it was written.
On second thought, they do "get it" but don't care as just like media writers, only write for one another, movie folk make movies for one another's praise!
Maybe in ‘Springtime for Hitler’ : )
