All in This Together

For many, High School Musical is a nostalgic film that brings back memories of our days in high school, of struggling to fit in, figuring out who we are, and developing friendships that shape and change us. It teaches us that “we are all in this together,” a theme we’ve embraced throughout this production.

To reflect this theme, we opened auditions to students all across BYU campus, so our cast is not only composed of BYU Theatre majors, but also students studying pre-business, political science, and many other fields. Throughout rehearsals, director Geoff Reynolds has had discussions with the cast on how unity and working together as a team helps us build a covenant community. As you watch this performance, we hope you feel the same excitement we felt as we brought this classic Disney film to the stage.

Fiddler on the Roof: Balancing Yesterday and Today

January 21, 2022 06:49 PM
If Anatevka is like a fiddler balancing on a roof, then the show Fiddler on the Roof also performs an impressive balancing act between its cultural specificity and enduring appeal. Whether or not audiences can relate to the practice of arraigned marriages in Orthodox Ashkenazi Jewish communities, they can understand the tension between personal desire and the social expectations around marriage. The relatability of Tevye’s world—made of hay and cows but also the love of family and dreams of wealth—stems from its timelessness. As a show that premiered 78 years ago and takes place half a century before that, Fiddler on the Roof’s greatest feat is that time does not chip at its relevance.
