Fiddler on the Roof
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.”
