Fiddler on the Roof review
A classic musical set in 1905, Fiddler on the Roof follows the life of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman, his wife and their five daughters on the cusp of revolutionary change in Russia. Redruth Amateur Operatic Society Trust manages to portray each character reliably with several, but easy to follow story arcs. The celebrated story is enthusiastically portrayed, with the three daughters falling in love avoiding the threat of traditional arranged marriages. The infuriatingly high pitched yet loving mother and the broken but idealistic father are all embodied from the original stereotypes of the characters created by Joseph Stein. Fiddler on the Roof at HFC T he infamous classics If I Were a Rich Man , Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset are belted out with fervent enthusiasm. With elements of intense drama, frequent comedy and affectionate romance, the imposing yet inventive sets, great period costume and occasional comedy lift the play out of the dumps. Ho
