Fiddler on the Roof

Anna tried out for her high school’s musical production and made it to the ensemble.  They did “Fiddler on the Roof”.  Last Thursday night was their final dress rehearsal and parent preview.  I was once again caught off guard by a rush of emotion as the show began that night.  I think it was partly due to the thrill of seeing for the first time, the scenery in place, the costumes perfected and a cast of 100+hard working high school students fill the stage.

I know that it was also in part because it was one of those moments that I remember so vividly living in my high school years just two seconds ago, and yet here I was watching my daughter.  As they sing in Sunrise, Sunset “I don’t remember growing older, when did they?”

The show is wonderful!  I have now seen it about 3.5 times and I still love it!  The boy who plays Tevye is just incredible!  It’s a very talented cast and such a great show.

Anna is so good.  She has such a beautiful voice and such a pleasant stage presence.  It’s so exciting to watch her be so confident on stage.  I’m so grateful she’s had this opportunity!  We love Anna!
