All aspects of "Fiddler on the Roof" Quiz

Answer: The Rabbi's son and then Perchik

At the begining of the musical she wants to marry the Rabbi's son because "there is only one Rabbi, and he has only one son," but later she discovers her true love for Perchik.

Answer: Any Day Now

"Miracle of Miracles" appears in both the movie and the musical. "Now I Have Everything" and "The Rumor" appear in the musical and not the movie, but they were never recorded for the movie, and were never intended to be in the movie. "Any Day Now" is in neither, but was recorded to be in the movie before it was cut.

Answer: Yente, the matchmaker

Tevye and Golde's family go to live with Uncle Avram. Chava and Fyedka say they "are also leaving this place" (meaning Anatevka) but don't specify the holy land. Perchik and Hodel are in Siberia. Yente goes to the holy land to continue her career as a matchmaker.

Answer: No, there is no other hand!

Throughout the play Tevye repeats the line, "On the other hand..." and with Tzeitel and Hodel, he gives in. Yet, with Chava he can't bend as far as to let his daughter marry someone outside their faith. The actual line is, "No, there is no other hand....No Chava, No!" and then the ensemble begins singing "Tradition", as Chava begs her papa to come back.

Answer: Jews and the Russian Orthodox Christians

In "Fiddler on the Roof", there is nothing about Mormons, Catholics, or communists. However, it is a story about freedom of religion and upkeeping religious tradition.

Answer: Mostel

When the name Zero Mostel is mentioned, he is automatically associated with the character Tevye. Jerome Robbins was the director, Topol played Tevye in the film version, and Matthau auditioned for Tevye in the film version.

Answer: The Middle child

Chava is the middle child, and the middle daughter, considering that Tevye's five children were all girls. Her full name, Chavaleh, means "little bird." In the "Chava Sequence" when this part is sung, Chava, Tzeitel, and Hodel do a ballet dance before she is taken away by Fyedka.

Answer: Tevye

Tevye asks this question of Golde. He sees that his daughters are all marrying for love, whereas his marriage was arranged. Golde and Tevye had been married for 25 years, so he finally asked his wife if she had fallen in love with him in the touching duet "Do You Love Me?"

Answer: A Table

Many items are listed in the song "Anatevka," but a table is not. In this song the inhabitants of Anatevka are forced to move away on very short notice. They are heartbroken to be leaving the only home they ever knew.

Answer: Frank Sinatra

On the inside cover of the "Fiddler On The Roof" Cd pamphlet (film version), it states this piece of wacky information. Crazy isn't it? It's too bad he never played the part, because that would have been fun to see!
