Fiddler On The Roof - Blog Posts
My husband is out in the barn singing If I Were a Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof. Emphasis on the tossing feed for the ducks and chickens yelling 'and each agay and ago and aga and aca'
I'm assuming he's gonna do this next 😂
To the tune of “If I Was a Rich Man” from Fiddler on the Roof:
“If I was a Cis Man
Da da de da da da da da dum,”
No seriously, imagine Jack Black singing THIS!
My fancast for if there's ever a Fiddler On The Roof remake (I don't know if there will be one but I want to make a fancast anyway)
Ok so for Tevye, Jack Black. Is this controversial? Maybe. But he's Jewish and he fits and he can sing.
Ok so for Motel, I want to cast Logan Lerman. He looks soft, he can be awkward if needed, and I just want an excuse to cast him in another Jewish role.
Golde, Tevye's wife, should be Robin Weigert. Do I need to justify my choice? I don't think I do. It's a good choice.
Yente could be Rhea Perlman, she just fits the vibes, idk.
As just the fiddler that symbolically appears in the movie, Timothee Chalamet. He can dance and he isn't actually seen much in the movie so why not. I wouldn't show his face though, just his silhouette as they do for a majority of the original movie anyway. (He can also voice over Miracle of Miracles for Logan Lerman if need be.)
Perchik can be Milo Manheim because you know what, I need that guy in some Jewish roles and why not.
Chava can be played by Odeya Rush, Odeya could be good in that role I think.
Joey King can be Hodel. I have no justification for this other than running out of young Jewish actresses and also she is a good actress when she needs to be.
Swell Ariel Or can be Tzeitel. She was great in Beauty Queen Of Jerusalem and I think that she would fit the role of Tzeitel well.
Tanner Buchanan can be Fyedka because he looks like he could be him, I don't actually know much about this actor sorry.
Please add your own suggestions for other characters or even instead of some of my suggestions! I'm curious to see what you think.
No words can describe how much I want this reboot to be real!!
