We recently had the opportunity to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Bass Concert Hall (on the UT campus) with Nicholas' parents. I was giddy that my FAVORITE fountain was on, and even giddier that the nighttime picture turned out this awesome!
Fiddler on the Roof is a musical set in Tsarist Russia in 1905. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each one's choice of husband moves further away from the customs of her faith—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
Tevye was played by Harvey Fierstein (who, by the way, is not a Fiddler, nor does he live on a roof). You may remember him (as I do) from Mrs. Doubtfire singing "Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make me a match (a song from Fiddler on the Roof)." It was a fabulous play. See it sometime if you can.
