"Hale Centre Theatre's production of this beloved musical is nothing short of splendid. With an excellent cast, led by an exceptional performance by Adam Guinn as Tevye, this production brings the beloved tale of tradition and change vibrantly to life. The result is a solid and heartwarming rendition of a timeless musical that skillfully balances humor and serious themes and that transcends religious and cultural boundaries while also offering a story brimming with hope."  - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)

"Visually, this current production of Fiddler may well be the company’s best presented in-the-round musical since its production of The Drowsy Chaperone in 2016....Adam Guinn's Tevye, with his world-weariness, his humor delivered with a reluctant shrug, and his ability to take sudden command with his declaration of 'Tradition!’ works so well, you get the casting assurance you were hoping for....making his moments of genuine anger and ultimately sorrow, particularly in the final moments, all the more effective....The large-scale production numbers, such as Tradition, To Life, Sabbath Prayer, Sunrise Sunset, and the hugely effective The Dream, are all as you would want them to sound, vigorous, full-bodied, and robust. But there’s also strength in the more focused, smaller songs, such as Tevye’s three older daughters (Brie Wadsworth-Gates, Gracie Gamble, and Carmiña Monserrat) singing Matchmaker, Motel’s (Brandt Norris) Miracle of Miracles, and Perchick’s (Noah Delgado) Now I Have Everything."  - David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
