Theatre Royal, Glasgow Now at Playhouse, Edinburgh Fiddleronthe Roofisthefirst production bythelledgling Scottish Singers Company underthe leadership of Bill McCue and. iffirst impressions are anything to go by, their relationship with Scottish audiences looks set to be a long and fruitful one. Choosing such a well known musical as Fiddler has its drawbacks as well as advantages: you start off with some great songs and a gem of a set, but the audience knows it so well you have to work pretty damn hard to create much of an impression. That Scottish Singers performed so admirably, even were itnottheirlirst production. is testimony enough to theirabilities.
Bill McCue has improved his performance ofTevye sincethe acclaimed shows of 1979 and the ever wonderful Una McLean justifies the
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
faith McCue has placed in her by choosing a primarily comedy actress as co-star. Fiddler is blessed also with a chorus who clearly revel in being involved rather more than they might in othermusicals—performing well in both their roles as scene-shifters and bottle-dancers. Amongstthe other principals, Linda Ormiston is a convincing Matchmaker and Tom Irvine a fine, off-the-wall Rabbi‘s son. The superb set is enhanced by inspired lighting particularly during The Tailor, Motel Kamzoil.
With so many pantomimes around at thistime ofyear, Fiddler on the Roof is awelcome alternative. The programme describes itasthe “great family musical‘. Iwould suggest, however. that it is well worth the baby-sitter‘sfee; why shouldthe kids have allthefun? (Graham Caldwell)
