Celeste Veillon plays the role of Golde, Tevye&#8217;s devoted wife. Veillon was recently seen in a supporting role in JPAS&#8217;s &#8220;The Light in the Piazza,&#8221; but Summer Lyric audiences will recall her in the production of Steven Sondheim&#8217;s &#8220;A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum&#8221; two years ago. Playing the roles of Tevye&#8217;s three daughters Tzeitel, Chava and Hodel are Tulane Music Department students Ali Bloomston, Allie Zodin and Jenna Winston, respectively.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1697\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Tevye_Daughters_edit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1697\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1697 lazyload\" title=\"Fiddler on the Roof\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Tevye_Daughters_edit-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Tevye_Daughters_edit-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Tevye_Daughters_edit.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/218;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1697\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1697 \" title=\"Fiddler on the Roof\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Tevye_Daughters_edit-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Tevye_Daughters_edit-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Tevye_Daughters_edit.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Randy Cheramie plays Tevye this weekend.

Francine Segal, who has worked as a dialect coach for several big name stars has also been busy in front of several Hollywood cameras for films like &#8220;The Hot Flashes&#8221; with Daryl Hannah and Brook Shields. She will portray Yente the matchmaker, her first time back to the New Orleans stage in two years. Peter Elliott, the sensational Billy from Summer Lyric&#8217;s recent staging of &#8220;Anything Goes&#8221; returns as Motel Kamzoil, the tailor. Meanwhile, Temple Sinai Cantor Joel Colman returns to the Summer Lyric Theatre stage as Mordcha the innkeeper, a role he reprises from a decade ago (See related story in <a title=\"Cantor Colman: From Fairfax to 'Fiddler'\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/cantor-colman-from-fairfax-to-fiddler\/\" target=\"_blank\">CCJN&#8217;s feature story<\/a> last week.). Highly regarded choreogapher Alton Geno will direct the production, while Jaun\u00e9 Buisson will serve as choreographer. Award winning Martin Sachs will return as lighting director as does music director C. Leonard Raybon, who seems to get better with each new production.<\/p>\n<p>Remaining performances are held Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. with matinees at 2:00 p.m. Tickets start at $28.00 and may be scarce.
