I'll come clean that that was a canned remark I acquired from somewhere else, I don't really have a sense of how hard or not hard it is.

Was just viewing the "Matchmaker" bit on Youtube last night...Odd how Jewison moved on to "Jesus Christ Superstar" (another fave of mine) directly after this one

Norman Jewison (still living at 92)

Topol also still alive!

I wasn't sure about Topol tbh. Next year is a big one for Norman, his 10th wedding anniversary is coming up.

... what am I talking about, it's this year, happy anniversary, Norman!

Meanwhile, Norman Jewison will be 97 in July.

I think I would call Tevye the 20th century’s great tragic hero; Topol’s performance is commensurately iconic
