Contributor Review by Dianna Burge: Fiddler On The Roof

>This contributor review is by Rockville Central reader Dianna Burge:

I had the pleasure of going to see “Fiddler on the Roof” Saturday, April 5. First off, the new auditorium was terrific! I am a graduate of RM in 1965 and was thoroughly fascinated by the seating, sound systems, and staging.

I found “Fiddler on the Roof” to be excellent! My friend and I had good seats and the show was phenomenal! I have seen many versions of this musical and I was blown away by Zach Sandberg as Tevye, Lauren Kuzminsky as Golde, Matty Golub as Motel, plus the dancing and acting of Micajah Dudley as Mordcha, the innkeeper, he was fantastic, and such a great actor. You would never have known that these were high school students.

The choreography of this production was terrific! Hats off, to each entertainer no matter how big or how small the part…. they were all important and wonderful! The chorus also blew me away…. such wonderful voices that added so much to the production.

I particularly loved the dream sequence. I was in awe… this particular scene is very important to the story and they made it remarkable and unforgettable. Being a huge fan of this particular musical, I was actually watching, and listening for any mistakes. The cast was so good…. I never did see or hear one error in the whole production. My gratitude goes to the Conductor of the wonderful orchestra, and each student musician that played such amazing music that added so much to the musical’s success. All I can say is, “Bravo!”
