Theater reviews: It's play time
'Fiddler' raises Music Circus roof
By Marcus Crowder -- Bee Theater Critic
Ron Orbach, left, as Tevye and Barry Pearl as
Lazar Wolf sing a toast "To Life" in a scene from
the Music Circus production of "Fiddler on the
Roof."
Sacramento Bee/Carl Costas
"In the taut, visceral new Music Circus production of "Fiddler" which opened the 2006 season Friday
night, we again experience the quaking world of Tevye the humble dairyman. Led by Ron Orbach's
robust Tevye, Valerie Perri's stalwart Golde, his wife, and Glenn Casale's assured direction, there
are no missteps in this impeccable show."

Oliver! Shatters Fulton Theatre Box Office Records

For seven years, The Sound of Music held the crown as the top selling production in Fulton Theatre's
history. Yesterday, Oliver! claimed that title.
As of today, Dec 31, 2006 (we close after today's matinee) the show has grossed over 427K, fracturing the
338K record that their production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC once held.

'Oliver!' outstanding
By Michael Long

In a real coup for the Fulton, native son Barry Pearl has returned home to play the lovable rogue and master thief
Fagin. His performance is worth the price of admission.
‘Oliver’ a fun frolic at the Fulton
By Susan E. Lindt
Intelligencer Journal

LANCASTER, Pa. - Oliver! Glorious Oliver!
Thursday’s opening night of the Charles Dickens classic was well-applauded at the Fulton Opera House, and for good
reason.
A large cast of some of the cutest kids and live animals — a real rat (!) and a charming bull terrier playing Bullseye — is
outdone only by a tremendous Fagin, played by Lancaster native Barry Pearl, who nearly pickpockets the show.
With a nose like a claw hammer, this Fagin dispenses in metered doses to his child minions as much compassion as
cruelty.
Creating a cult personality, Pearl really does it up — but just to the edge. Somehow you can’t help but love him as you
leave the theater.

Ensemble makes Fulton's 'Oliver!' a holiday treasure
By Cindy Stauffer
Lancaster New Era

Like any good Dickens tale, there are lots of twists, turns, lessons and colorful hardships along the way. And thank
goodness for that.
Because that is why we get to meet characters like Fagin, the leader of the pickpocket boys. Lancaster is fortunate
that actor and county native Barry Pearl regularly leaves his home in California to return here to act in local
productions. He is a delight in this show, from the moment he tosses out one of my favorite lines (“Shut up and
drink your gin!” he tells one little lad). Pearl teases out the complex nuances in Fagin’s character, making him a
conniving thief, a gentle uncle who calls everyone dear, a cold-hearted miser and a worried old man. I did not want
his rendition of “Reviewing the Situation” to end.
