Finally caught up with this one and honestly? It’s kind of a masterpiece. Top-tier choreography, incredible music, and Topol is just magnetic as Tevye. I really enjoyed it—every emotional beat landed perfectly.
My only real gripe is that three hours is a <i>bit</i> much for a single sitting. I can totally see people liking the longer running time if they want to really luxuriate in that world and the atmosphere, but my attention span was definitely drifting to my phone for some of it. Still, it's a classic for a reason.
