GREAT PERFORMANCES: “FIDDLER: A MIRACLE OF MIRACLES”
PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
This new Great Performances entry is the first documentary ever made about the classic musical Fiddler on the Roof. It’s current enough to include the 2018 Broadway revival in Yiddish – a somewhat unexpectedly emotional and current retelling – and comprehensive enough to deal with the original stage and movie versions, as well as the most notable of the many, many revivals. And the participants in this documentary are wide-ranging, too, from such expected artists as Fiddler composer Jerry Bock, lyricist Sheldon Harnick and librettist Joseph Stein to Stephen Sondheim, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Itzhak Perlman.
