Harvey Fierstein: "If I Were A Rich Man" (Fiddler on the Roof-Broadway)

In 2005, Harvey Fierstein took over the role of Tevya in the Broadway Revival of Fiddler on the Roof. Here's him performing "If I Were a Rich Man"

I absolutely love this interpretation of tevye. Harvey 's such a gift to theater. he's all heart .
Which some people have lost , since covid --but some of us still need heart performers like him.
He can do much more than camp !!!

Beautiful!

I love this. I love seeing different actors playing Tevye.

Thank you for posting this. I saw him in this on Broadway and was mesmerized! I wish there was a video of the entire show!

Here I was thinking that it was just a joke from 'Forbidden Broadway: SVU', but this legit happened. Never would've expected this casting, but it's definitely interesting.

[@gionmusic]

He was really good - and Rosie O' Donnell was Golda just to add to the "Forbidden Broadway SVU" insanity :)

It was a huge upgrade from Alfred Molina’s Tevye.

I love it!!! I love his voice too!!!

[@gregorykeithmorris3970]

This man is certainly a role model for me. He's been one for years.

How come Harvey never got surgery to fix his voice// make it sound better

[@gionmusic]

Because that’s his natural voice and there’s nothing wrong with it? Because he literally was born that way (his voice is a result of an overdeveloped vestibular fold in his vocal cords, essentially giving him a "double voice" when he speaks)? Because vocal surgery is f'ing risky (two words. Julie. Andrews)?

[@unfuzzy]

@@gionmusic he sounds like he desperately needs a lozenge

[@TimmyRiordan]

It's one of the things that makes him unique.

[@treywest268]

His voice is perfect!!!

[@stacymuise1]

His voice is iconic

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

Lay off the cigs, Tevye.

[@gourdguru]

he's just having a philosophical disagreement with his triple hernia.
Tevye's a hard working man and part time Cart-Ox, leave him alone.🤣

[@treywest268]

Harvey doesn't smoke. That is his natural voice.

[@jovanolague3161]

@@treywest268i did smoke in his earlier years. His memoir tells the reason for his voice. I think he is perfect for this role!
