I agree!

I understand Harnick's resistance but I am glad that he has allowed the change to happen. The bones of FIDDLER are so strong that it can withstand interpretation.

And fifty years on, the show has entered the popular imagination so thoroughly that I applaud an attempt to remind audiences of what the show is about at its core.

Sure there will be cognoscenti who think it's overdone, but obviously Harnick realized that a point is being made to a lot of people and thinks it's a valuable point to make.

Looking forward to this show!
