Oy.

I was looking back at some of my old posts a couple weeks back and I realized that I hadn't been referring to Jamie as my Man Boo as I should have been.  For that, I apologize.


So, come April, Man Boo has a habit of taking advantage of any fun activity that we do and labeling it "an anniversary gift."  Despite the fact that our actual anniversary isn't for another almost five weeks away, Jamie (I mean, Man Boo) treated me to an early anniversary gift on Sunday.  We went to see Fiddler on the Roof!  As someone who has been able to sing the entire play since the age of 9 or 10 -- and who probably breaks out into some rendition of the "Do You Love Me" song on a near-weekly basis (I'm not kidding) -- this is a huge treat.  Especially because we splurged and got excellent seats.

I don't remember who played Tevye when I first saw Fiddler all those years ago (I think it may have been Topol), but this time around Tevye was played by Harvey Fierstein.  Harvey Fierstein as Tevye makes for a completely different Fiddler.  Not necessarily in a bad way...just different.


You have to skip to 1:52 to see Harvey -- but it's kinda entertaining to see Matthew Morrison bouncing around playing Link before then.  

Needless to say, if we were going to sit so close to the stage for any musical, I'm glad it was for this one because Harvey Fierstein has a pretty expressive face.  But, boy howdy, does that man have a raspy voice.  Man Boo and I have been doing our best Harvey-Fierstein-as-Tevye impressions ever since.
