Hey I love Fiddler on the Roof and have performed it with two different
companies. I have also had the same problem of how much fun stuff to add
without it sounding stupid. Thanks for the suggestion on what recordings
to listen to. Do you know an easy way to find such recordings? And do
you know of any other music written in this style that is available to play?

Thank you
