Fiddler Sub-Terrain
10 Jan 2001 - The Globe and Mail:
"Fiddler" (by Simon Houpt)


Fiddler

Anthony Patellis and Mary Ann Conk in Fiddler Sub-Terrain, a musical that's rarely as funny as its creators seem to think Two Canadian actors provide the only high notes in this attempt at a musical satire set in Quebec

Rating: *

...

There is one happy note to report. In the midst of this madness, Sean Power and Sean Devine, who happen to be the only two Canadian actors in the cast, manage to turn in bracingly entertaining performances. Devine is wonderfully absurd in dual roles as a franco­phone storm trooper and drink­addled former prime minister, and Power brings a manic energy to his role of the punk rocker Maudit. Even in New York, the French manage to emerge victorious.

Fiddler Sub Terrain plays at La MaMa Theater in Manhattan until Jan. 28. Information: 212-475-7710.
