Emily Ready for Broadway


Emily did such a fantastic job as Hodel in the Graded production of "Fiddler on the Roof." They had four performances: one on Thursday, December 4, two on Friday, December 5, and one on Saturday, December 6. Thursday she became quite nervous. But I told her that this chance to sing and act on stage was what she wanted, and that she couldn't waste a bit of any performance feeling nervous and scared. She knew what she wanted to do on stage, and now was her chance to shine. And shine she did! It was wonderful. She sang "Matchmaker" (a family favorite...Joy, remember you san it to try out for Encore!) beautifully. And her acting was great, too. William Richardson played Perchik (the teacher Hodel falls in love with), David Kern played Tevye, and Cassia di Roberto played Golde. Stephanie Feder played Tzeitel and Binca Ioshp played Chava. Hunter Wilson played the tailor, Motel Kamzoil.
