Sallah Shabati = :roll:


Maybe it didn't age well. I saw it in 1994 and remember enjoying it.
Yes, blackface doesn't tend to age well.

I met him in London in the 90s at an audition (I was auditioning) for the stage version of Fiddler on the Roof. He was charming. I didn't get the part and the show closed early. So that was that.

I saw him perform Fiddler live in the early 80’s. I had already had seen it once live, but Topal’s portrayal was amazing.
