I saw Topol in his FAREWELL TOUR / Fiddler on the Roof last night in Spokane, Wa. OH MY!! He was fabulous. What a production, what performers, what a fantastic show. His voice is amazing. Knowing this was his farewell tour i sat a portion of the evening watching, amazed and wondering how old he is. I was shocked when i searched his name today to find out his age. He was hopping around the stage like a young man. I was so impressed.
The music, the voices, OH MY!! wish i could go again tonight. Thank You!!

I watched the show in Chicago last week. It is amazing that Topol can give such an outstanding performance after so many shows given. His voice seems to be even stronger then 40 years ago.
The lighting, set design and dances — the bar one, and the wedding one– are wonderful.
It is a pity that apart from Allison Walla (Chava) all the other performers present a much lower level then Topol.
The orchestra was the greatest disappointment. All the beautiful moods of the “Fiddler’s…” music were killed by the music director/ conductor. I remember people around me at the show, being absolutely shocked particularly with “Anatevka”, being played with no music sensitivity.
Anyway, there is only one Tevye that can be in your heart. If this is really the farewell tour of Topol, it is a must show to see.
