“[T]his engaging and enlightening documentary is stuffed with anecdotes, history and information. It makes excellent use of both new interviews and carefully selected archival footage to reveal the building blocks of all this accomplishment.” — Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times
“For those who might regard Fiddler on the Roof merely as just another warhorse musical and a favorite of dinner theater and high school drama societies, Max Lewkowicz’s rowdy and informative Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles might change their minds.” — Peter Keough, Boston Globe
