Dear God, did you have to send me news like that, today of all days? I know, I know we are The Chosen People, but once in awhile, can't you choose someone else?

Chaim Topol (September 9, 1935 – March 8, 2023)

May his memory be a blessing.

Mrs. Bennett Tevye

High-stress levels from trying to marry off five daughters

[rocknrollinbitchforu]

anyways now that I'm talking about fiddler on the roof can we talk about the fact that tevye is truly the most charming man in all musical theatre. ik most people take charming in a romantic sense and then are like "no that's jack kelly" "no that's orpheus" WRONG!!!

tevye cares endlessly about his daughters. tevye teases his wife but would do anything for her and would do anything to be loved by her. tevye wants the very best for the people he loves. tevye is deeply embedded as a person in his faith. tevye serves his community. tevye makes the best of what he has. tevye questions authority and values others opinions. tevye is open minded. tevye does what he believes is best for his family. tevye complains, but never gives up. tevye is flawed, and still has prejudices.

TEVYE IS REAL AND WELL ROUNDED

My fancast for if there's ever a Fiddler On The Roof remake (I don't know if there will be one but I want to make a fancast anyway)

Ok so for Tevye, Jack Black. Is this controversial? Maybe. But he's Jewish and he fits and he can sing.

Ok so for Motel, I want to cast Logan Lerman. He looks soft, he can be awkward if needed, and I just want an excuse to cast him in another Jewish role.

Golde, Tevye's wife, should be Robin Weigert. Do I need to justify my choice? I don't think I do. It's a good choice.

Yente could be Rhea Perlman, she just fits the vibes, idk.

As just the fiddler that symbolically appears in the movie, Timothee Chalamet. He can dance and he isn't actually seen much in the movie so why not. I wouldn't show his face though, just his silhouette as they do for a majority of the original movie anyway. (He can also voice over Miracle of Miracles for Logan Lerman if need be.)

Perchik can be Milo Manheim because you know what, I need that guy in some Jewish roles and why not.

Chava can be played by Odeya Rush, Odeya could be good in that role I think.

Joey King can be Hodel. I have no justification for this other than running out of young Jewish actresses and also she is a good actress when she needs to be.

Swell Ariel Or can be Tzeitel. She was great in Beauty Queen Of Jerusalem and I think that she would fit the role of Tzeitel well.

Tanner Buchanan can be Fyedka because he looks like he could be him, I don't actually know much about this actor sorry.

Please add your own suggestions for other characters or even instead of some of my suggestions! I'm curious to see what you think.

You know how Tevye is just living and then things happen and he’s just like: wAit— *looks up at God* Not cool, my guy…? Yeah, I felt that.

Chaim Topol (9.9.1935 - 9.3.2023)

"What kind of advice can I give [young performers]? Someone sent me a quote that persistence wins. I have to disagree with this. It is an important ingredient. I don't think that there are any rules. Be persistent, be talented, work hard, but ninety-five percent is luck - so be lucky!"

[illiana-mystery]

I need a little Tevye to cheer me up.

"Little Bird, Little Chavaleh

You were always such a pretty little thing

Everybody's favorite child"

Damn Tevye you're outwardly admitting you have a favorite child AND implying that she's also your wife's favorite child AND she's the child you're disowning? Bold move buddy

[shtetlcore]

Tevye is a poor milkman, but he knows it’s no shame to be poor. He’s got five daughters to marry off, and he’d better start working on it before his wife chews his ear off.

Lively bulghars and sprightly freylakhs; where would we be without our klezmorim? A fixture of the town, there they are playing joyous music at every wedding and bar mitzvah.
