It says a lot about the lack of political imagination that millions of theater kids who can recite this entire show from memory haven't taken up arms in the name of democracy.
it isn't perfect, but it did make me cry. got some good songs too, the trombone is really great.
i would be interested in a genuine leftist reading of it, since it seems ripe for that sort of thing. it isn't revolutionary, but it could be read that way imo
I honestly think it's done a huge amount to innoculate me against anti-Semitism. Fiddler was the first piece of media about Jewish people that I ever saw when I was very young, and the idea of Tevye being part of an evil conspiracy is just so silly that all the anti-Semitic bullshit just bounced off of him.

Jesus Christ Superstar is rad because the christians HATE it.
I was part of a performance in highschool and we literally had baptist groups picketing outside in protest, in a town of like 30,000 people.
Along those lines, I've got a soft spot for Godspell after being in a very fun and creative production of it when I was in highschool.

Movie is a musical anyways, but it also is based on a stage musical I think, which is itself based on a novel?
Victor Hugo’s “Here’s like ten chapters on the history of the Paris sewer system”
Because a ton of libs like it
and in the comments sections for the songs, there are suspicious amount of bot looking comments.
