Love Musical : "Fiddler on the roof" Matchmaker, find me a man!!

When did I come to like musicals, perhaps,because of my host sister. When I studied abroad, my host sisiter was a great, great, musician. She is one year older than I, and plays percussion. There were noboby who doesn't know her at school becuse she was so talented. She is writing her own musical. She showed me a lot of musicals from her musical DVD collection. When I watched "Les Miserables" DVD for the first time eatching musical in my life, I was shocked and fascinated. The "Les M~"I watched was not performed by professionals, but by highschool kids include my host sister. I couldn't belive it so that I couln't move whole time. The school I studied abroad named Gahanna Lincoln High School has perhaps the best Musical Performance and Instrumental Music program in Ohio State. Lots of students engage in this program are dreaming of becomming professial. During my stay, they performed " Fiddler on the Roof" as a school spring musical.

This one was great, too. Although it was school musical, it was so hard to get role. There were so many talented people. Unfortunately I couldn't find my school performance on youtube. I'll just put movie one and broadway one.

This musical is old musical which won many Tony Prize. This musical is about Jwes in Russia, so you can listen to a lot of Jews folk song's melody line in the musical. The story runs with the main character, Tavye ,the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters,each daughter's choice of husband moves progressively further away from established customs,and with the edict of the Tsarthat evicts the Jews from their village.

The one great thing watching this kinds of musical is we can understand the history and ubderstand different culture thriugh the joy of watching musical.

This is my favorite song in this musical, in their custom, matchmaker finds men for young ladies for marrige. I need a matchmaker, too.



The GREAT GREAT opening of Broadway Production.
