The Fiddler photo CD I ordered before the show closed finally arrived yesterday. (Plaza has an arrangement with a third-party photographer to come in and photograph each show. The photographer then offers photo CDs for sale to the actors toward the end of the show's run.) For nearly four weeks I'd eagerly checked the mailbox, hoping it would come. And when it was there yesterday, I very nearly squealed with glee. I rushed inside and popped it into the computer to pull up the photos...
As my glee deflated and disappeared.
For the Friday/SatMat cast, there were 125+ fabulous photos, including about a dozen of my double CC as Yente. For the Thurs/Sat cast, there were 46 photos, and many of those near copies of Friday/SatMat photos because they're of single cast people doing what they did every show. Since nearly all of the principal characters were doubled, there are precious few photos of the people with whom I had the honor of sharing the stage. And that makes me sad.
The photos were taken opening weekend. If the camera or lens malfunctioned and it was a matter of not being able to get good photos, there were still five more weekends, ten more performances, to get photos.
Now the show is long done, no way to go back and get pictures.
*sigh* Anyway. I'll share the two and a half photos that included me. The first one is from the opening scene, where Yente tells Avram she's found the perfect match for his son.
This second one is from the first scene, where Yente visits Golde to tell her about the match for Tzeitel. I'm stealing a potato.
Finally, the wedding scene, right before intermission. I'm the black-clad one at the bottom. I love the pic, though, because it shows how amazing the set and lighting were...
