Artist: Original Cast (London) Title: Fiddler On the Roof - Original London Cast -Starring Topol Category: Shows-English

Order #: 01084 "Fiddler On The Roof" opened in London in 1967 and became an immediate hit--and Chaim Topol an internationl star. This newly re-released London cast production contains not only all the selections from the hit play, but also includes 5 "bonus" tracks ofsome of the tunes in their early developmental stages featuring composer Jerry Bock on piano with his ideas on some of the new tunes that "might" fit in the show. On one of the track, Bock plays a tune and tells his lyricist, Sheldon Harnick, that he thinks it could be "Tevey's Theme,". That song eventually became "Sabbath Prayer". What eventually became "Sunrise Sunset" is VERY different from it's original concept. 'We Haven't Missed A Sabbath Yet" was to be the original opening of the show...fortunately is was replaced with "Tradition"! This Cd will give you an insight into the creative development on one of the most popular Shows of all time! (***denotes Bonus Tracks)
