Yes the old classic Fiddler on the Roof came to Manchesters Palace Theatre. I do love going to this theatre as the staff are fabulous and very welcoming. The stage is a decent size and its always a good show. Fiddler was no exception. Joe McGann was superb in the role once occupied by Topol playing Tevye. Carrie Ellis (baby Jane in Jerry Springer the Opera) played Golde exactly as I expected the role to be played. Now I must make a confession here. I have never seen Fiddler on the TV..I KNOW...its on all the time, I must have...Well no. In a way I am glad that I have only seen it on stage. The effects in the show are stunning and after seeing what A big film could do compared to the stage show, I think it would have ruined it for me. This show is touring so please please if you get chance go and see it. Just forget about the Film and go with an open mind and you will love it. Not bad for a musical without a happy ending.
