The show is in an immersive, child-friendly space, featuring an imaginative New York cityscape on the gallery walls, two reading areas, and family audio guides narrated

by Willems himself. (Grown-ups will enjoy the museum’s four centuries of history and art: an offbeat, and often surprising, bite of the city’s culture.) 170 Central Park W. (btw. 76th &77th Sts.), 212-873-3400, nyhistory.org

Cover Story Fiddler on the Roof: A Cherished “Tradition” Returns

By Griffin Miller Before stepping into the role of Golde in the luminous revival of Fiddler on the Roof, Jessica Hecht had never been involved in a musical—let alone one on Broadway.

Her vocal skills were pretty much limited to her synagogue choir, which, along with singing lessons, proved solid ground for her character, the “Mama” who, as she and her fellow Mamas sing in “Tradition,” must make a proper, quiet, kosher home “...so Papa’s free to read the Holy Book.”

Joan Marcus

of long-held beliefs and inescapable personal and political challenges.

Under the direction of Bartlett Sher, who worked with Burstein in South Pacific and Golden Boy, the actor is placed both in today (in a lovely bookended opening and closing), and in 1905 Czarist Russia in the fictional Jewish village of Anatevka.

Fiddler’s two-pronged storyline— the loves and marriages of three of Tevye and Golde’s daughters, and the undercurrent of Jewish persecution under the dictate of Czar Nicholas II that leads to a forced exodus from Anatevka—is based on stories penned by Sholem Aleichem, which, surprisingly, were Hecht’s sole connection to Fiddler prior to being cast.

“I had never seen it...not once. And when I got the job I didn’t want to reflect on previous performances,” she says, adding that when doing revivals, it’s customary to read the script over and over, “But I wanted to enter the story Jessica Hecht as “Golde” in the Broadway revival of Fiddler. fresh...and I stuck to my guns “It interested me how in a musical on that.” actors wait for their next song, whereas Still, she did not enter the show I find myself waiting for scenes,” says unfamiliar with Tevye the Dairyman Hecht, whose background is straight and his family. She had been introduced plays with eight person casts. “Because I to Aleichem’s original stories by her connect from a different place—not being Russian-born grandmother, whose schooled in American musical theatre—I had to play catch up.”

The production itself is a unique experience as well, even for theatregoers familiar with Fiddler. The seminal role of dairyman Tevye, Golde’s husband and father to their five daughters, is played

by Danny Burstein. In a performance rich with humanity and humor, five-time Tony nominee Burstein’s Tevye is a kind and lovable man caught in the crosshairs

“The simple act of holding hands becomes the ultimate show of affection...”

18 www.cityguideny.com

legacy extended to Hecht’s exposure to Yiddish and the customs/protocols that are second nature to observant Jews. These inspired the finely etched “Sabbath Prayer” scene early in Act I, in which home after home is illuminated in a shared invocation that begins “May the Lord protect and defend you.”

“I think the beauty of Fiddler is that while it presents conflicts around these people, at the same time it shines a positive and peaceful light,” says Hecht, who sees the production as a historic touchstone for many young people who have no sense of their own heritage.

The dance numbers—by Jerusalemborn choreographer Hofesh Shechter (incorporating elements of Jerome Robbins’ original choreography)—have

a unique vibrancy. “Like Israeli folk dances, how one imagines Hasidim might dance—spiritual and uninhibited and free,” observes Hecht.

Much, too, can be said for the production’s ballads—songs of longing, like daughter Hodel’s heartbreaking “Far From the Home I Love” and Tevye and Golde’s exquisitely awkward romantic duet, “Do You Love Me,” in which the simple act of holding hands becomes the ultimate show of affection.

“Bart was meticulous about the intimacy of that touch, and you see the release,” says Hecht. “From that point on—and it’s very subtle—they become more open to one another.”

And so it goes: “L’chaim, l’chaim, to life!”

Fiddler on the Roof is playing at the Broadway Theatre, 1681 Broadway at 53rd St. For tickets call 212-239-6200 or visit fiddlermusical.com.

Art, Architecture, and Heritage Here are some of the top current shows among the city’s extraordinary array of cultural institutions.

MUSEUM OF MODERN ART (MOMA)

Edgar Degas, Dancer Onstage with a Bouquet, c.1876

Since its 1929 founding, the MoMA has been at the forefront of the world’s cutting edge art scene. Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Kahlo are just the beginning of an incredible permanent collection, which is supplemented by provoking temporary shows. Edgar Degas is best known for his stunning Impressionist paintings of dancers, but a new MoMA exhibition highlights the artist’s modern, daring, and rarely seen monotype prints. Edgar Degas: A Strange New Beauty explores these prints and their impact on the artist’s later works. This is the first exhibition in nearly 50 years to examine these innovative pieces, with approximately 120 monotypes joined by related paintings, drawings, pastels, sketchbooks, and prints. 11 W. 53rd St. (btw. Fifth & Sixth Aves.), 212-708-9400, moma.org

MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE— A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE HOLOCAUST Lower Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage celebrates the lives and traditions of both those who survived and those who perished in the Shoah. The museum’s three-story Core Exhibition doesn’t shy from chronicling atrocity, but it also serves as a testament to the strength and perseverance of Jewish culture. Don’t miss artist Andy Goldsworthy’s beautiful living memorial, Garden of Stones.

36 Battery Pl. (1st Pl..), 646-437-4200, mjhnyc.org GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM Housed in an iconic Frank Lloyd Wright spiraling building, The Guggenheim Museum contains one of the world’s finest collections of modern and contemporary art, including works by Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani. The museum’s newest exhibition (opened April 29), Guggenheim Collection: Early Modernism, features masterpieces by the likes of Brancusi, Chagall, Miró, and Mondrian, in gallery space newly devoted to the permanent collection. To inspire future architects, the museum has launched a multimedia architecture guide for kids (ages 7-12), which reveals the building’s design secrets. 1071 Fifth Ave. (89th St.), 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org

INSIDER TIPS Many of the city’s museums offer free admission for select hours on the first Friday of every month, usually in the early evening.

226 W. 44th St. (btw. Seventh & Eighth Aves.), 866-987-9692, discoverytsx.com

BODY WORLDS: PULSE reveals the world within.

Spectacular views from dawn to dusk at Top of the Rock.

New York is a vertical city and there’s no place better to take it all in than the incredible Top of the Rock, a stunning perch atop Rockefeller Center. On a clear day you can see for miles—80 to be exact.

Beyond the stunning views, you’ll find state-of-the-art features like reserved-time tickets (meaning you won’t need to spend hours standing in line), multimedia exhibits, an indoor viewing area (nice and cozy this time of year), and clear panels for wholly unobstructed views of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, both rivers, and all of Central Park (you won’t appreciate the size of it until you see it from above).

The observation deck was first opened to the public in 1933, and reopened in 2005 as a crown jewel of New York sightseeing. There are two crystal installations by Swarovski, an interactive lighted breezeway on the 69th floor with futuristic motion-detection technology, and, of course, the jaw-dropping Sky Shuttle elevators.

Outfitted with transparent glass ceilings, the Sky Shuttles let riders view their own rapid acceleration through the building’s shaftway as they zip towards the light and open air above.

Open daily 8am-midnight. Admission is $32 for adults, $30 for seniors above age 62, and $26 for children between ages 6 and 12. Kids 5 and under get in free. 30 Rockefeller Plaza (btw. Fifth & Sixth Aves.), 877-NYC-ROCK, topoftherocknyc.com

Spring Showtime on Broadway

By GRIFFIN MILLER demand, and/or threaten for a table or, in some cases, an alpha table. P.S. With Ferguson’s high-profile comedic charisma, and the show’s adios on 7/24, I suggest scoring tickets ASAP.

Joan Marcus

A euphoric windfall of returning VIP stars has landed on Broadway this spring and the buzz is almost deafening. Oscar winner Jessica Lange, Golden Globe recipient Gabriel Byrne, and Tony winner John Gallagher, Jr. are appearing in Long Day’s Journey Into Night, while Emmy winner Sean Hayes is going all Supreme Being in An Act of God. Meanwhile, the Tony count soars courtesy of three-time winner Frank Langella (The Father) and six-timer (a Tony record!) Audra McDonald, who’s appearing in the musical Shuffle Along—a show that reunites her with her 1988 Ragtime costar, Tony winner Brian Stokes Mitchell. The cast also boasts the talents of Billy Porter, who picked up his Tony trophy playing Lola/ Simon in the hit musical Kinky Boots.

Still, of the many multi-media celebrities getting back in touch with their Broadway roots, the most familiar to present-day sitcom fans is five-time Emmy nominee Jesse Tyler Ferguson of Modern Family, who has opted to spend his summer vacation at the Lyceum Theatre embodying a cavalcade of 40+ loopy characters in the one-man comedy Fully Committed.

The show’s premise is custom-made for the versatile Ferguson, who plays a guy who mans the reservation line for New York’s trendiest restaurant—a job that has him scrambling for sanity as a tsunami of VIPs and wannabes plead,

Jesse Tyler Ferguson dazzles in Fully Committed.

CASTING NOTES: Finding Neverland’s latest addition is Tony-nominee Marc Kudisch in the dual role of Charles Frohman/Captain Hook. Producer Harvey Weinstein says, “The pairing of Marc alongside our new J.M. Barrie Alfie Boe and the lovely Laura Michelle Kelly will make for a spectacular evening of musical theater.” Meanwhile, at Lincoln Center, The King and I welcomes two new leads: Tony nominee Marin Mazzie in the role of British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens (starting May 3), and Daniel Dae Kim of Lost fame, currently making his Broadway debut as the King of Siam.

BROADWAY UP CLOSE Walking the Great White Way Think you know a little something about Broadway and New York’s legendary Theatre District? Then get ready to have your mind blown in two short hours as actor Tim Dolan—or one of his guides (all licensed/all theatre pros)—takes you on the ultimate behind-the-scenes theatre walking tour in which you’ll pick up enough surprising facts, gossip, and NYC theatre lore to dazzle everyone in your inner circle (plus the inevitable eavesdropper).

The brainchild of Dolan, Broadway Up Close Walking Tours are as much performance art as they are informative, which makes learning about early architectural oddities, the personality and fiscal quirks of Broadway’s original movers and shakers, and ghostly apparitions totally irresistible! broadwayupclose.com For theater and ticket information for all Broadway shows, please see our theater map (p. 48) and theater listings (p. 50).

A Big Technicolor Musical: New York’s Planet Hollywood

BY RichaRd JaY Scholem For great food, famous collectibles, and out-of-this-world events, there’s no place like the Planet. Thrill to the magic of Hollywood surrounded by the largest movie memorabilia collection in the world.

Food is not an afterthought here. A kitchen crew of about 60 churns out the dishes offered on a voluminous menu dominated by huge portions of American comfort food with a sprinkling of Mexican, Italian, and Asian favorites mixed in.

Sliders, potato skins, and Buffalo wings start things off, while entrées like sizzling shrimp fajitas and teriyaki salmon combine with steaks to form a diverse array of mains. Add an ample contingent of pizzas, pastas, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and sides and few diners will fail to find a favorite.

We had no problems. World famous chicken crunch with Creole mustard sauce; Kalbi short ribs with Asian slaw; a stack of crisp Texas tostados crowned by barbecued chicken, cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo; and three juicy Kobe beef sliders with cheddar,

tomatoes, cucumber, and caramelized onions on a sweet roll left us smiling and full. Nevertheless, we gave our all to a Tomahawk Steak so tender, juicy, and flavorful it could have put any top steakhouse to shame.

Music envelops the thousands of people who each week pass through to an energetic world of motion picture, Broadway, and sports memorabilia.

Mobiles of model planes rotate above, two cars hang hood-first from the ceiling, and TV screens flash music videos to often-awed diners surrounded by the paraphernalia of movie stars. Star clothing (Sofía Vergara’s dress from the Diet Pepsi ad was behind us), pictures, and movie music pervade the premises.

Planet Hollywood itself is much like a big Technicolor musical. The spaceship from Independence Day dangles above, along with a parachute, while the TV screens switch to Marlon Brando in a scene from On the Waterfront or Gene Kelly doing his Singing in the Rain dance sequence. All of this fuses into a visual and audio extravaganza that can easily cause patrons to forget that this is, after all, a restaurant—and a very good one.

Food is not an afterthought here...

BENJAMIN STEAK HOUSE The staff at the stunningly beautiful Benjamin Steak House is courteous, accommodating, and knowledgeable of a menu that includes everyone’s favorites—and not just meat. Sirloin, filet mignon, lamb, and veal chops are all dry-aged in their own aging box. Seafood items include Chilean sea bass, Norwegian salmon, yellowfin tuna, and lobster, for the best of both dining worlds.

Sumptuous desserts provide the perfect finish. 52 E. 41st St. (btw. Park & Madison Aves.), 212-297-9177, benjaminsteakhouse.com

DARBAR Darbar’s sleek, narrow eastside duplex boasts a classy, quiet milieu. Its upstairs dining room is a place of glazed brick walls, high ceilings, and smooth, sophisticated service. A diverse menu combines traditional Indian favorites (curry, korma, vindaloo, biryani, tikka, tandoori) with fine fusion creations (trans-ethnic Maine crab cakes, potato croquettes stuffed with goat cheese). 152 E. 46th St. (btw.

Third & Lexington Aves.), 212-681-4500; darbarny.com

AN’NAM If you’re looking for a great value in the Theatre District, head to An’Nam, which serves up a tasty fusion of Japanese and Vietnamese for lunch and dinner seven days a week. The menu neatly divides into the two cuisines. On the Japanese side, you’ll find favorites like dumplings, skewers, and tempura, plus super-fresh sushi and sashimi.

Spring rolls, beef noodle soup, stir-fries, and curries head up the Vietnamese list.

Look for plenty of low-price lunch specials, including teriyaki bento boxes. Service is friendly and the space is stylish, contemporary, and right in the middle of everything.

234 W. 48th St. (btw. Broadway & Eighth Ave.), 212-247-8318, annamnyc.com CANTON LOUNGE Serving excellent Cantonese fare, Canton Lounge is one of the best choices in the heart of Chinatown. An extensive menu includes a large assortment of soups, dim sum, seafood, chef’s specials, shellfish (including hard-to-find abalone) Szechuan-style spice, noodle and rice dishes, Peking duck, and much more. Enjoy fourcourse set menus at a very affordable price.

70 Mott St. (Canal St.), 212-219-8066, cantonlounge.com PATSY’S Patsy’s Italian Restaurant by the Scognamillo Family is a warm, white-tablecloth spot with a great menu of traditional Italian dishes. A Theatre District staple since 1944—and known as Frank Sinatra’s favorite restaurant—celebrities, theatergoers, and families fill the tables. Patsy’s has had only three chefs, the late Patsy himself, his son Joe Scognamillo, and Joe’s son Sal, who has manned the kitchen for the past 30 years. 236 W. 56th St. (btw.

MOLYVOS & OCEANA If you want a multigenerational American success story, the restaurant business is a good place to look. Case in point: the Livanos Restaurant Group, which includes two Theater District favorites. Molyvos is known for its genuine Greek cuisine and warm welcomes for larger tables; Oceana is a high-end, fine-dining seafood establishment with a stellar wine list. Irvina Lew of City Guide sat down with Proprietor Nick Livanos to learn more.

Q. Who are your clients?

A. Our guests include out-of-town visitors, local New Yorkers, and regulars who work in the neighborhood.

Q. Each restaurant has a different concept, is there something in common?

A. They value and serve the freshest ingredients; each restaurant in New York City has a purchaser who goes to the fish market daily.

Q. How important is your bar business?

A. Oceana has a large bar with 7,500 bottles in a local-tointernational wine cellar; Molyvos, with 580 bottles, has the largest all-Greek wine list in the country.

NY faves Molyvos (top) and Oceana (bottom). Q. How do you manage to have long-term relationships with chefs and employees?

A. We treat everyone like family, which is why we’re able to create so many longstanding relationships. For example, General Manager Paul McLaughlin arrived at Oceana, day one, 23 years ago. Carlos Carreto, the Executive Chef at Molyvos, has been with the restaurant for the last 17 years.
