What do you do with a BA in Yiddish?
Playbill’s Andrew Gans reports on this year’s Easter Bonnet Competition:
If [Doris] Eaton was the most moving, then the casts of Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof, who joined forces for the afternoon’s award winning bonnet presentation, provided the funniest moments. Their brilliant skit, entitled Avenue Jew, employed a mix of tunes from both musicals with revised lyrics by Randy Bobish, Rick Lyon, James Valletti, Stephanie D’Abruzzo, Molly Ephraim, Jordan Gelber, and Melissa Bohon. […]
The Avenue Jew sketch began with Trekkie Monster playing the opening strains of Fiddler on the Roof on a fiddle, which he proceeded to eat and destroy after playing a few sour notes. For those who were unable to attend this year’s ceremony, I wanted to share the skit with you, and thanks to the gifted and charming D’Abruzzo, who supplied me with a copy of the sketch, here it is!
Check it out at the Playbill website. Hilarious. More pictures from Easter Bonnet, including the Avenue Q gang, are available at Broadway.com. (Via Mike.)
