    YES!   The amazing duo of Alexandra Silber & Damian Humbley are cast as Hodel & Perchik in Fiddler on the Roof. They are once again, fabulous together. Saw it in Scheffield at Christmas, moving, powerful and fantastic. The entire production was sensational.  Can't wait to see it at the Savoy!  Check the reviews from The Crucible. Don't miss it!!!!

Alexandra and Damian's INCREDIBLE mentions/reviews for Fiddler on the Roof:

David Benedict for Variety: "The most quietly trenchant performance comes from tall, self-possessed Alexandra Silber as Hodel. Her remarkably secure vibrato and rich, hooded tone is reminiscent of Audra McDonald. Taking leave of her beloved father at the station, her rendition of "Far From the Home I Love" is all the more powerful for the emotion she indicates but refrains from overtly displaying."

Simon Edge for The Daily Express: “[Henry Goodman] is ably supported by Beverley Klein as Golde, his ferocious, hand-on-hips wife, plus a quintet of daughters of whom Alexandra Silber as Hodel, betrothed to a socialist rebel, is particularly affecting.”

Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail: “Alexandra Silber as Hodel, sings with a song thrush’s sweetness...”

Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard: “You don't have to be an early 20th century Ukrainian Jew with Left-leaning sympathies to sob unreservedly when Hodel explains to her distraught father her reasons for moving to Siberia in [Silber’s] achingly simple “Far From The Home I Love” ... Alexandra Silber's spirited, soulful Hodel ups the daughters' tunefulness quotient.”

Natasha Tripney for MusicOMH.com: "...Damian Humbley, as the radical student Perchick, has the right combination of righteous passion and brattish arrogance."

Matt Wolf for Theatre.com: "...Woman in White player Alexandra Silber confirms her status as one of the richest-voiced young talents around."

Ruth Leon for Bloomberg.com: "Damian Humbley's remarkable tenor Perchik [is a] standout..."

Michael Coveney for Whatsonstage: “... [The daughters] – Alexandra Silber’s well sung Hodel is particularly impressive – exasperate Tevye by falling in love with “unsuitable” men... These developments are accepted by the matchmaker (Julie Legrand) and the rabbi (Vincent Pirillo) in dance sequences that express a secularisation of rigid orthodoxy, notably when the radical Perchik (Damian Humbley) removes the gender-dividing rope and dances with Hodel at the wedding.”
