I had the joy, pleasure, and honor to see this show in July. Danny -shines- in this role. He is an absolute joy to watch as Tevye. There is none like him. He 100% deserved the Tony as Leslie Odom did. :)
I guess it's a tough call when Alex Brightman, Danny Burstein, Zachary Levi, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Leslie Odom, Jr. (🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯) are all nominated for the same award during the same season, isn't it?
I met Danny Burstein when my high school drama club and I saw a performance of The Drowsy Chaperone. He was very polite and answered all the questions we had for him.
@@KingdomHeartsFan3211 As someone who's seen it on the tour, Danny Burstein does the first half of his opening monologue as one of Tevye's modern-day ancestors, reflecting on Tevye's way of life 100 years ago. Right before Tradition starts, he takes off the red coat and puts on the cap we saw sitting on the back of the chair onstage, symbolizing he's now entered the story as Tevye, rather than an unnamed descendant. The same happens at the end. As Tevye is pulling his cart leaving Anatevka, he leaves the stage and comes back on as the descendant again, and he finishes the show in the red coat pulling Tevye's cart, symbolizing the idea that this man is embracing the traditions of the past while still living in the present.
curious why he puts on a modern day winter coat at the top of the show. (shown when he exits his dressing room at the end of this video). wish I could see this. such a great company!
B Teclaw In this production, he is pretty much playing two characters. During the first lines of Tradition, he plays a descendant of Tevye that is doing research on him and the Anatevkans; then, he takes it off and becomes Tevye later on in the song.
I don't understand why he wears the modern red jacket, when I saw the show at first I was like wtf did he forget to change? But then I saw he had his costume underneath I just don't understand the jacket if you know why he wears it please explain
The story of Tevye began as a book. The idea at the beginning and end with the red coat is that he is telling a story. When he sheds his coat and puts on the cap, he is entering the story.

Danny could win a Tony every year of his life and I would still be mad he didn't win one for this role.
Character study is my absolute favorite!
Yes finally a fiddler one!!! I love it (would really love to see Samantha massell changing into Hodel) I'm playing Hodel in the UK

Saw him in Fiddler on the Roof last summer on Broadway, it was amazing!!!!!!!
I love this man so much. So fucking talented.
This is beautiful
he seems so lovely to be around :)
I've still never understood the red jacket in the beginning and end of fiddler, is that to symbolize the telling of the story in modern times?
I'm with you. I'm a little confused by it as well.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to see him as Tevye, one of my favorite male theatre characters.

Ania Guzman it takes place in 1905 so it's not like it took place THAT long ago
