If I were in pitch, man
Have you ever had the urge to break into song, at Ethel Merman-level, along with the characters of your favorite movie musicals? Decorum, the fear of a chorus of shooshes, probable ejection from the theater, and the risk of eternal shame may have prevented you from theater warbling. However, if you join the folks at Mass MoCA for Sing Along Fiddler on the Roof, scheduled for Saturday, August 4, you can cast all sense of etiquette and pride aside and biddy-biddy-bum to your heart's content. The classic, if mawkish, 1971 film, adapted from the hit Broadway play, features Topol (whatever became of him?) as Tevye the singing milkman, Isaac Stern providing the actual violin accompaniment, and maestro John Williams conducting the wonderful music. Among the songs you'll be able to desecrate are "Tradition," "Matchmaker," and "Sunrise, Sunset." The audience's mangling of "If I Were a Rich Man" should be worth the price of admission (a mere $10) alone.
