Burstyn & a great cast) in Israel, on Broadway, and with I think another
cast, in Germany, of all places.  It's rollicking wonderful and witty.
There's also a German Yiddish book of Megile with the lyrics, some music and
great illustrations out there.


I am sure Simon has the CD - it's part of a 2-CD package which also includes
the Yiddish version of "Fiddler on the Roof".

We certainly do. It is also avaialbe in a Hebrew cast album.  Many American 
show were performed in Israel in Hebrew and these are very popular. The ones 
that have been released on CD (In Hebrew) are : "Fiddler On The Roof", 
"Hair", "My Fair Lady", "The King and I". 
At one time there was a Hebrew version of "Les Miserables," but 
unfortunately, it has never been released on CD.

Has anybone heard the Japanese version of Fiddler On The Foof?
