For the past week or so, I have been reading the blog London Still by Alexandra Silber. I knew that she had once played Hodel in the West End’s Fiddler on the Roof in 2007. When I read her blog post about doing a cast recording, I quickly opened a new tab, went to youtube and found the album. (I apologize to everyone around me, for the blasting of yet more showtunes so late at night, especially more Fiddler on the Roof.)
It was definitely different, different than the original movie and Broadway 2015 cast album. Different in a VERY VERY GOOD WAY! To the point that it is now part of my daily music list. Lets talk about the Yiddish accent, seriously it is perfect I LOVE IT!
Far From the Home I Love, sent chills down my spin. A first for me with this song, normally I get them with Chavaleh. The chills continued as Chavaleh came on. One telling the father what is what, and the other asking for acceptance from the same man who can not see who his daughter really is. I wish that seventh grade me took a trip from NY to London to see this songs live.
I guess this, recent college graduate, me, has to take yet another trip to hear the beautiful vocals that is Anatevka-Broadway.
