I have been to many plays and I have never felt the need to provide a review, but I must say that Yente was horrible in this play. She actually ruined the play for me. Her timing was consistently off (at times it seemed like someone had to remind her that it was her time to speak), and it seemed like she was reading her lines. She is a key character and her awful acting really took you out of the play. I actually have never been to a play where I thought an actor was so bad. The other characters were good. I thought the ending could have been much stronger. Some of the harmonies were fantastic and the dancing was excellent. Please replace this actress with someone who can act or at least relate to the character. Until then, I actually cannot recommend that you attend this play. Her performance is that off-putting.

DISAPPOINTED
Fiddler will always be a great show, but what I saw last night I was disappointed. I found the acting, singing and dancing mediocre at best. It was as if I was watching a community theater performance. Fun, yes, but professional. No way.

OPENING NIGHT FIDDLER ON THE ROOF AT THE BUELL THEATER, DENVER
Talk about the tale of two cities. The opening act was fabulous. Five stars. The second act? Good grief, we were both bored to death and could find no redeeming qualities at all. We SO wished I had left after the first act. That bad.
For those going to the Buell in mid June, give serious consideration to leaving at intermission and save yourself 35-40 minutes of boredom. You'll beat the crowds leaving at the end of the play, the traffic, et al.

TEVYE LACKED EMOTION AND QUALITY IN PERFORMANCE
This play was the worst play I've seen in years. fiddler on the roof is a classic and one of our all-time favorites. We were underwhelmed by Tevye's performance. He lacked timing and emotion. We felt as though he rushed through the performance and there was no feelings in the songs that he sang. he got slightly better and at least tolerable in the second act. The rest of the cast held their own especially the female roles. We were going to buy my mother tickets in another state for Christmas and decided not to take the risk. Staging was great and the whole show could have then great had it not been for tevye's performance. It was closing night so maybe he just wanted to get out of there. Minneapolis Minnesota

OH VEY
Really was looking forward to this show and was underwhelmed by the fast pace and the horrible Yenta. I really wanted her to be fabulous - but she was not in character at all. Her role is comedic and it was so flat and awful that it really brought down the quality of the entire show. I hate writing this! I loved the dancing and love the tailor Motel Camzoil was brilliant! Tevya was good but sometime I felt as if he were acting for TV not the theatre. He warmed up into his character in the 2nd act but went sharp on a few key notes.

NOT THE GREATEST
Others have said toned down production. That is an understatement. All costumes in light autumn colors. All= sisters, mother,Yenta, Russians, sets. Hard to tell characters apart. Dancing very good, but also very repetitive. Do not understand all the floppy arms. Singers pitchy. Still high energy and fun.

PHONING IT IN
I've seen Fiddler on the Roof several times produced on various levels from high schools productions on up. This was my least favorite of them all. Maybe because I just expected something more. The dream scene was far too sterile and bland with singing that was too pretty. The voices in the various duets very rarely sounded like they fit together. Some of the male voices appeared to be outside of their range and low notes were barely audible. The blending of chorus voices was non existent with some singers staring notes before others, and others holding notes longer than others and everyone trying to out-sing each other. It really just seemed like they fine tuned everything before the tour started and haven't really worked on it again since. The orchestra and dancing were great!
