Fiddler on the<\/em>\u00a0Roof<\/em>\u00a0is back Off Broadway\u2014this time in a Yiddish version directed by Broadway legend and Oscar and Tony Award-winner\u00a0Joel Grey<\/a>, and in a production by the\u00a0Folksbiene<\/a>. Though\u00a0Fiddler<\/em>\u00a0was translated into Yiddish by\u00a0Shraga Friedman<\/a>\u00a0in 1965, just one year after its\u00a0record-breaking Broadway debut<\/a>, this is the first ever Yiddish-language production in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DYTP\u2019s Debra Caplan spoke with Rachel Zatcoff<\/a>, who is playing Tevye\u2019s eldest daughter, Tsaytl. Fiddler on the Roof<\/em> in Yiddish is currently in previews at the Museum of Jewish Heritage<\/a>. The production opens July 15 and runs through September 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debra Caplan<\/strong>: What inspired you to audition for this show? As a non-Yiddish speaker, what made you want to be part of the first professional Yiddish-language production in the United States?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Zatcoff: <\/strong>I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s taken this long to do this show in Yiddish here because it just seems like it\u2019s meant to be. These characters would have been speaking this language, and it just feels so true to the story. I think a lot of people in our first previews have been surprised\u2014especially the non-Yiddish speakers\u2014because there\u2019s a visceral reaction. This show is so powerful in Yiddish. Everything just lands a little bit deeper. It\u2019s amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I heard that the Folksbiene was going to be doing Fiddler<\/em> in Yiddish, I immediately wanted to be a part of it. I\u2019ve always wanted to be part of a Fiddler<\/em> production anyway, because it\u2019s such a perfect musical. The book is amazing, the story is incredible, the music is powerful. But I especially wanted to be part of this production. I was literally walking down the street listening to the original Broadway cast recording<\/a> on my headphones just praying that I would get this job. I wanted it so badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single person in this cast feels that way. Everybody just understands how amazing this opportunity is and everybody has that sense of gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiddler on the Roof<\/em> is such a sentimental show for so many people. A lot of us in the cast already felt so connected to it that it was a fun challenge and joy to learn it in Yiddish. It\u2019s more beautiful\u2014it\u2019s like the show is taken to a whole new level in this language. I can\u2019t speak highly enough about it. This is one of the most exciting and special things I\u2019ve done, ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC:\u00a0<\/strong>As a non-Yiddish speaker, how did you learn to act in Yiddish? What was the rehearsal process like for you?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Rachel Zatcoff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

RZ: <\/strong>When I was learning Di goldene kale<\/a><\/em> (The Golden Bride) two years ago, I was going in as a replacement and I only had ten days to learn it, so it was a very different experience. I was basically just learning the sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time around was incredible because I was able to not just immediately memorize the Yiddish; I was actually learning\u2014the process was so different. Now I feel like I\u2019m really able to sink my teeth into the Yiddish because I had the proper amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s like learning an opera\u2014you have to learn every word that you\u2019re saying, and you have to learn every word that your scene partner is saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our scripts have three sections for every line. There\u2019s the Yiddish, then right underneath is the original English, and right under that is a literal translation of the Yiddish translation. In some cases it\u2019s exactly the same, but in some it\u2019s different. The creative team just kept reiterating that we have to stay true to the Stein, Bock, and Harnick musical. But there are certain moments and certain lines where there are differences\u2014in a lot of cases, it\u2019s the same meaning, but just what you would say in Yiddish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in the scene in the tailor\u2019s shop in Act Two, Golda says to me, \u201cHow\u2019s the baby?\u201d And in the original Broadway show, Tsaytl just replies, \u201cHe\u2019s a miracle, he\u2019s wonderful.\u201d But in the Yiddish, I say \u201cKeyn shum beyz oyg, mame<\/em>\u201d (\u201cNo evil eye, Mama\u201d) first. We had lots of conversations about moments like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC:<\/strong> Like most of the cast, Joel Grey also doesn\u2019t speak Yiddish. What has it been like working with him on this production and how has he approached the challenge of directing a production in another language?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RZ: <\/strong>Working with him has been absolutely incredible. As a director\u2014mostly everyone knows him as an actor\u2014but as a director, he comes at it from an acting standpoint. We actually rehearsed all of the scenes in English first with him. We sat around a table and read the text in English, then we read the literal Yiddish translation, and then<\/em> we read it in Yiddish. We\u2019d go back and read it in English, and then go back and read it in Yiddish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quite a process in those first few weeks of rehearsal because Joel really wanted us to get to the root of these characters and these scenes that are so beautifully written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He just has so much to offer. He asks a lot of questions\u2014the right<\/em> questions. He keeps pushing us, in the best possible way, to keep making the show better and better. He cares about it so<\/em> much. His passion for this production is just incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel was so patient and wanted us to be patient\u2014and it was a challenge, because you wanted to be running the lines in Yiddish right away. But he said \u201cuntil you really understand what you\u2019re saying you can\u2019t skip these steps.\u201d And I\u2019m so glad he had us rehearse this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC: <\/strong>How much background<\/em> reading on the Tevye stories, on Sholem Aleichem, on Yiddish literature and culture, etc. did you and the other cast members do to prepare for this production?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RZ: <\/strong>They gave us a lot of source material to read. I read a lot of it on my own, and I think a lot of people did. They were constantly sending us emails with research material. They also had us watch the 1939 film<\/a>\u2014we all watched that together within the first week and I found it really interesting. The core of what the musical is is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all read Alisa Solomon\u2019s book Wonder of Wonders<\/a><\/em>, we\u2019ve all been reading other books and the original stories, and watching interviews and other videos that the creative team shared with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t know about any of it until doing this production. I didn\u2019t even know that there was a Yiddish version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC: <\/strong>Let\u2019s talk about Tsaytl. What\u2019s it like to play her? What\u2019s particularly interesting for you as an actress about this role?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RZ: <\/strong>It is totally different from anything I\u2019ve ever done. I don\u2019t sing very much in the show. My training is in classical voice and opera and I\u2019ve done a lot of ing\u00e9nue roles, but in this part, I have a lot of meaty scene work to do. It\u2019s presenting new challenges to me but it also feels like a treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love my role. I love her. She\u2019s the first one to break the tradition, she\u2019s like a pioneer woman. And she\u2019s gets her strength from her parents, ironically enough. She\u2019s raised by Golda and Tevye, who are equal in strength as far as I\u2019m concerned, and at the root, that\u2019s what inspires her to be the first one to break the traditions. It\u2019s her time, I think she feels that it\u2019s time that these things change. I love playing that. I love being the oldest sister. I also don\u2019t have sisters in real life, I have two brothers, and it\u2019s been really wonderful to experience being the oldest of five girls and what that feels like. And being the first one to break the mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC: <\/strong>You\u2019ve had a few previews at this point.<\/em> How have audiences responded to the performances so far?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RZ: <\/strong>It\u2019s been incredible. When we stepped out on stage for \u201cTradition\u201d in the first preview, it was one of the most thrilling, electrifying experiences I\u2019ve ever had on the stage. The energy in the theatre is just electric. The audience is so with us for the whole ride. And you know, it\u2019s a big show. It\u2019s a big, long show. And they are with us the whole way through, and at the end, people are in tears\u2014I mean they\u2019re still crying even when we\u2019re coming out to the lobby. And the folks that are coming out that speak Yiddish, and the folks that speak Russian, and the people who speak neither\u2014everybody is having the same type of reaction, everybody loves that it\u2019s an intimate version of Fiddler<\/em>. Since it\u2019s being done in a smaller space, it really adds to the intimacy of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC: <\/strong>I can\u2019t wait to see it myself. Finally, is there anything else you\u2019d like people to know about this show?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RZ<\/strong>: I think a lot of people hesitate because of the language. People are hesitant to sit through a three-hour musical in another language, just like people are hesitant to go to the opera. But I would just encourage people to try it. I\u2019ve spoken to a few people for whom it was their first time seeing something with titles, and they\u2019ve loved it so much and they want to come again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a really important time for this show to be happening\u2014particularly in the language, in what I would say is the native language of the show, because of everything going on in our country and our world right now. It\u2019s a story about immigrants and people trying to start a new life in a new place and everything that comes with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this is a really important production to see, and it\u2019s not even that I\u2019m biased and love this show and love these people and love musical theatre. This particular production is something really special. I hope that not just Yiddish speakers and not just theatre people are coming out to see it. I think it\u2019s a really necessary story right now and we have a beautiful production of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
