Fiddler on the Roof
Top 10 Chicago theater of 2024—Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
Drury Lane Theatre
Oakbrook, IL
“Director Elizabeth Margolius’s production pays such beautiful attention to the emotional trajectory of this show and offers so moving and powerful a manifestation of its humanity, beauty, and resilience.”
“…Margolius, a Chicago-based director surely doing the best work of her career…”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen so superbly acted and directed a “Fiddler.” Don’t even think about not bothering to go.”
**** 4-stars — Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“Overall, what is most remarkable about this production—a true breakthrough for Drury—is the way Margolius has so subtly yet powerfully tapped into this extraordinary musical in a way that infuses it with timely echoes of the chaotic world in which we live now. She has devised a remarkable interpretation of an enduring classic that could not be more profound for this moment in time.”
Hedy Weiss, WTTW
“Margolius is something like a Tim Burton in her approach to ‘Fiddler on the Roof.’ She takes chances and a lot of them prove to be winners.”
Rikki Lee Travolta, Life and Times
