Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
The production embraces Jewish representation and celebrates their religious rituals with refreshing openness. From Tevye’s personal relationship with God to the customs of his culture, there’s pride in Fein’s take.

Charming, heart-rending, and utterly gorgeous, this is the revival of Fiddler.
