Reminder: Fiddler on the Roof Ticket Discounts

admin | March 16, 2010

I’d never seen Fiddler on the Roof, but that changed last night. The short version: It’s worth seeing. 
The musical is both hilarious & moving, due in large part to Harvey Fierstein’s portrayal of Tevye, the poor milkman. I’ve met men like Tevye before—sharing “as the good book says” expressions that aren’t quite accurate but [...]

Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” is one of my husband’s favorite classical works. It’d be interesting to see the Atlanta Ballet’s interpretation of the piece. Per the Atlanta Ballet’s website, it’ll follow “‘everyman’s’ passage from the springtime of youth to the winter of death.”
