For those unaware, this is a play on a Woody Guthrie labor song.

We took the kids to see “Fiddler on the Roof” tonight. It was one of my parent’s favorite plays so we listened to it a ton growing up, but It had been a looooong time since I’d seen it on stage (probably 30+ years). I had forgotten just how incredible the music is
“Tradition” has been running through my head all morning.

Can’t give this enough stars… great music.
When I was a kid, my parents had quite a collection of recordings for all sorts of musical plays, played them all the time as sort of background music in the house (rather than the TV always being on) and when they bought a really nice new stereo system in about 1964, or 1965, the quality of the sound got so much better.
We didn’t attend live performances often as they were not wealthy and I was the oldest of 6 kids, but as I got older I started spending a lot of time and money on theatrical (occasionally Broadway) and eventually opera performances. There really is nothing like it.
it’s wonderful that you’re introducing another generation to such great music.

Same. There was almost always a soundtrack from one show or another playing in the house.
I know it goes against my death metal aesthetic, but I’m an absolute sucker for musical theater. We’re taking my daughter to this show at Eccles this afternoon for her birthday. Very excited.

When Neal Barth was the Drama teacher at Orem High, “Fiddler on the Roof” was a musical the school performed regularly.
It’s a good memory.

It seems like every high school did Fiddler when I was in high school. It was quite popular.

I remember when my parents came home with a turntable and amp that actually played the music in STEREO!

I thought metal was all about musical theater.

New Fleshgod Apocalypse track dropped this weekend. Yowsers. 
Their lead singer almost died in a climbing accident back in 2021. Spent several weeks in the hospital recovering. Hence the theme.

Several amazing Eurovision entries this year - it should be quite a fight at the top, and the semifinals are both shaping up to be bloodbaths.
