National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene presents…
Broad Street Review: As I traveled to New York last month to review National Yiddish Theatre Folksbeine’s Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, I remembered my first BSR review of Fiddler. It was a touring revival that opened before white supremacists marched through Charlottesville, Virginia, torches in hand, chanting “Jews will not replace us!”. I called that production “relevant, contemporary, and powerful,” noting that for many Jewish Americans, the rise of incidents like the Charlottesville rally “shattered our belief that anti-Semitism was a thing of the past.”
