Buffalo, NY – The Broadway tour of Fiddler on the Roof opens Tuesday night in Buffalo at Sheas Performing Arts Center. Performances continue this week through Sunday. The production was originally billed as the farewell tour of the show's long-time star, Chaim Topol. However, Topol will no longer be touring with the show because of a medical emergency. The actor also starred in the film version of Fiddler and has made the central character Tevye's name synonymous with his own.
But his replacement in the Buffalo production has spent the last two decades sharing his own identity with Tevye. WBFO talked with veteran actor John Preece about his dual roles in life.
