I would like to remind you guys of the "King's Right" a tradition that dates back to the epic of Gilgamesh. If the King wants to have his way with the bride to be from the wedding of one of his subjects, her first night as a married woman is spent in the King's bed and the couples first kid is probably the Kings. The local lords and knights did the same in their territories. Now that is a tradition for you and I am all about the traditions. Who it up for reviving it?

Wonderful performer. I can't think of anyone but him playing this role. Thank you and goodbye Topol.

Topol was a magnificent,larger than life performer.

My ancestors were from this area, so its natural this musical holds a special place in my heart. It stirs up all the emotions, brilliant piece of art.

When you think about it, everyone is a "Fiddler on the Roof." It's really a good message for a musical, or any story in general. It tells you that life is hard, no matter who you are, and that you have to try to "scratch out a pleasant tune" in any situation. I do know people that would make anti-semetic jokes, and the like, but, this story as a whole, reminds us that no matter who you are the situation is the same: make what you can of life, and if possible, try to make it good. Also, this was the first musical I participated in in high school. Every one after it seemed cheesy and petty to be honest, and it's mostly because of the music. Not only that but the plot was a whole lot more realistic than the others, and thus, relatable. I highly recommend this to any culture lover, or music lover, or anyone else looking for advice in life.

If there is a heaven, dear friend, surely you are made for it.

RIP Chiam Topol. One of my favorite moments from this movie was Tevey came home from his rounds and his horse had gone lame and he still had some deliveries to make in the village and Tevey's wife said that he was going to be late and Tevey said "I won't be late! I won't be late! If you ever stop talking, I won't be late."

I can never get tired of watching this movie, I know how to sing practically almost every song. And watching the videos again brings so much joy to my heart

This is one of the greatest songs written for a musical and they stop in the very middle of it to tell us what we're watching...never will I watch another clip! EVER,!!!!!,m. To boot they do t finish its!

Wonderful memories from my childhood. (Side note: my grandparents bought me this on vinyl when I was 7 years old after some pretty pathetic begging on my part. I took it everywhere there was a record player. My brother finally destroyed it - I guess I deserved it 😆)

Gotta be the best musical ever! Chaim Topol makes the perfect Tevye 🧡⭐

​@@LK-qk8fm Agreed! From an evolutionary standpoint, nonsense like having kids at teen years and marrying girls off early made sense. Bodies still get ready for child bearing in puberty despite most cultures agreeing the absurdity in today's society to child rear at that age. Possibly because we don't live in villages anymore whom often helped with the children and it wasn't all on the parents alone. Eventually all societies grow enough from merely survival status, to thriving and learn that there is more to quality of life than whatever evolution subjected them too. I think this is the crux of barbarism. Not so much that a culture is backwards, but simply that it hasn't been afforded ample opportunity to thrive and still focuses most of it's efforts on survival. This explains too while old traditions die hard, because they were ingrained to either survive or keep some semblance of order. However, often the struggle to keep order often comes at detriment to quality of life for the person, animal and sometimes environment. Those things need to die in all cultures and even now we still have some in more developed places, often due to a lack of proven scientific data to show that something is problematic and why. This is why most cultures don't actually vary as much as people think. They're all stuck with the same parameters. What differentiates them is the way they handle those, like how they see death, how they deal with life, acquiring of food, social structure etc. That's why many came up originally with worshipping the sun/elements, because they seemed to be a force of their own to be respected. Eventually they place anthropomorphic qualities to these elements, animal/human or both. Depending usually on the region, there were special animals/forces that pertained most to survival, and so those animals/elements were held in higher regard than others. Then there were obvious commonalities, like some version of over arching mother nature, and a distinct knowledge of water being the source of life.
