FIDDLER: A MIRACLE OF MIRACLES (2019) BATON ROUGE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL
The musical story of a Jewish family set in a shtetl was a risky bet
when it premiered on Broadway over a half-century ago. But, after
initial mixed review, Fiddler on the Roof would go onto capture the
hearts of audiences and be the first musical to exceed 3,000
performances in Broadway history. The documentary explores the
perspectives of cast and crew members, scholars and speculators.
Director Max Lewkowicz interviewed about 60 people, including those
with direct links to the show such as Sheldon Harrick and Chaim Topol;
experts such as author Fran Lebowitz, film critic Jan Lisa Huttner,
and Columbia professor Alisa Soloman; and even Hamilton creator
Lin-Manuel Miranda (watch him sing "To Life" in an impromptu wedding
duet with his father-in-law). Director: Max Lewkowicz
