Rosie O'Donnell in Fiddler?!
Anyone know if this is true??
My husband just informed me he read (I think in the 8/8-8/15 New Yorker, but I'm not positive - it was in something sitting on our coffee table) that Rosie will be in Fiddler on the Roof - didn't say which part. Could she be replacing Andrea Martin?? A last ditch effort to improve ticket sales, or what?
As if Harvey F. wasn't bad enough.

I don't think it would be to improve ticket sales but I did read the same thing recently.
Evidently she is making noises about Fiddler On The Roof on her website.
I would have thought her $10 million dollar Boy George thing would have ruined Broadway for her.
If not, good for her. While I don't care for her, I admire her ability to get back in the saddle.

I'll elaborate.
Subtle humor, yes. Molina, in my opinion, did just fine. And surprise, surprise, he could actually SING. That seems to be what HF lacks. I don't know about anybody else, but when I go to a musical, I expect the performers to be able to sing.
HR and Rosie? Well, let's see if they're able to provide something other than a two-person comedy act, but I somehow doubt it.

Yep. She's been officialy cast.
On another note, I saw Fiddler with Alfred Molina, and thought it was OK... my wife saw it with both AM and Harvey Fierstein, and she was really impressed by HF's performance. Granted, the guy can't sing, but he gives a much better performance, full of nuance and humor (according to my wife)...

"Are you sure she's not playing Tevye?"
lol
We really did not like HF's performance at all (this Fiddler production seems to be lacking in many other areas). My husband just told me that he had a nightmare last night that we were forced to go see Fiddler again, only with Rosie this time around. He seemed pretty traumatized.
(Nothing against Rosie, but she just doesn't seem to fit the part.)
