The new Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof is got into the holiday spirit by celebrating the first night of Chanukah on Sunday at DOROT on Upper East Side. DOROT, an innovative leader in mobilizing volunteers of all ages to improve the lives and health of the elderly, welcomed members of the Fiddler cast to perform "If I Were a Rich Man" and "Sunrise, Sunset" and visit with the seniors. More information on the organization is at www.DorotUSA.org
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF has book by
Joseph Stein, music by
