Barbara Eden - Son of a Preacher Man/Matchmaker (1969)

[cbjustmusic]

A post to mark the death of Chaim Topol. Known for his portrayal of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, he player the role on stage for over 50 years and also in the 1971 film. Here from the film is “If I Were a Rich Man”. _________________________ If I Were a Rich Man Songwriter: Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock

If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

I'd build a big, tall house with rooms by the dozen Right in the middle of the town A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below There would be one long staircase just going up And one even longer coming down And one more leading nowhere, just for show

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks For the town to see and hear Squawking just as noisily as they can And each loud of the"gee", be it "gow", be it "geh", be it "guh" Would land like a trumpet on the ear As if to say, "Here lives a wealthy man"

If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man

I see my wife, my Goldie, looking like a rich man's wife With a proper double-chin Supervising meals to her heart's delight I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock Oy, what a happy mood she's in Screaming at the servants, day and night

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me! They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise "If you please, Reb Tevye..." "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..." Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes! And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong When you're rich, they think you really know!

If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack to sit in the synagogue and pray And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day And that would be the sweetest thing of all

If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum

Lord, who made the lion and the lamb You decreed I should be what I am Would it spoil some vast eternal plan If I were a wealthy man?

She Loves Me, das reizende Musical nach dem mannigfaltig verwendeten Stück Parfumerie, in dem besonders viele Leute mitspielen, denen wir ein bisschen verfallen sind (vergleiche hier und hier, Gavil Creel ist leider grade nicht mit im Bild), wollten wir schon lange mal wieder anschauen. Man kann es leider nur bei Broadway HD, dem untalentiertesten aller Streamingdienste anschauen. Wenn sie es schaffen würden, es durchgänging und am Stück zu zeigen, wäre es fast sein Geld wert. Ist aber natürlich trotzdem extrem herzig, war jetzt allerdings doch wieder so aufwendig, daß inzwischen neunundneuzigjährig Sheldon Harnick, der legendäre Fiddler-on-the-Roof-und-eben-She-Loves-Me Liedtexter gestorben ist, so daß wir es gleich auch noch als Gedenkveranstaltung verwenden konnten.

I also love it so much when Jerry Bock joins in with the harmonies on Sunrise Sunset on the composers demo of Fiddler

Broadway Divas Tournament Winner

"Gorgeous," from The Apple Tree, music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. Audra McDonald at the London Palladium. And yes indeed, she is gorgeous.

Congratulations to our six-time Tony, two-time Grammy, Emmy winner Audra Ann McDonald, reigning Queen of Broadway. Audra has swept every one of her polls (one for every Tony on her shelf), and it took Christine Baranski herself before any opponent could earn more than thirty votes at all. Standing ovations for Audra and my deepest condolences to all her opponents, who would surely have polled better against literally anyone else.

Audra McDonald vs. Rebecca Luker (146 to 23) Audra McDonald vs. Laura Linney (196 to 28) Audra McDonald vs. Carolee Carmello (119 to 13) Audra McDonald vs. Stephanie J. Block (143 to 29) Audra McDonald vs. Christine Baranski (187 to 123) Audra McDonald vs. Bernadette Peters (363 to 277)

Fun fact: Audra McDonald has more competitive Tony Awards than all six of her opponents combined.

Back in Russia I knew two girls who were as close to married as two people can be, although they would probably hate me saying so – real radicals, who would have told you that marriage was womankind's prison and that ownership was a poison to love. But I don't share this prejudice of theirs so I don't mind if I say that they were wife and husband to each other.
