GAY “FIDDLER” CAUSES FUSS

A Hartford high school reinterprets “Fiddle on the Roof” and draws controversy.  “In their interpretation Tevya became an African American female; Yente the Matchmaker became a drag queen, and Tevya’s daughter, Chava, became a young man who falls in love with another young man. ‘There was no objection to making one of the characters gay, only that two sets of male lips came together.’ – Hartford Courant
