22nd July Saturday. Met Alice & [Laurie?]
in New York, and saw fiddler on the
roof, a splendid show indeed. Then we
all went to the Piccadily Hotel for
dinner, which was excellent, came back
to Elizabeth, and finished the evening
off at Alices.
[The original Broadway production of Fiddler started in 1964, transferring to The Majestic in 1967. The role of Tevye, which made Topol famous in the film version, was initially played by Zero Mostel in the Broadway production. I don’t know who would have been in the cast on this evening, but most likely Tevye would have been played by Paul Lipson, stage actor. Golden Girl Bea Arthur was also in the original Broadway cast.]
