"If I Were A Rich Man" - Anthony Warlow (Fiddler On The Roof Australia) 

Bass belter

@@gamer5101he’s a lyric baritone

@@ellefitzpatrick6339 he used to sing tenor

@@gamer5101Generally speaking, a Baritone can sing in the Tenor range, and I suppose Anthony preferred the Tenor range, but he’ll always be a lyric Baritone no matter what.

He’s the best in my opinion

It's actually reminscent/ part of a traditional Jewish dance, and the script actually calls for it to be kept in the production. But it's so great that why would you cut it anyway? =]

@@kyleburch6077 I saw the movie version and it took me 1 hour to realize he was jewish

Omg same!

The Road to Cosplay and Comic Con but like...fiddler is the most Jewish thing I know as a reform Jew

It is a staple of his character

And Daddy Warbucks

Anthony warlow forever🤗🤗😗😘😍😇

Yeah...holy shit, he’s versatile. What next? Sweeney Todd? Caractacus?

Flannery Monaghan-Morrs He actually is playing Sweeney Todd this year!!!

He really is impressive. I saw a version of this play live, but couldn't enjoy their rendition of this song because Anthony wasn't in it

I saw Zero Mostel in the revival of "Fiddler"on Broadway just a few months before he died. No one ever matched him in this role.

I agree. Nobody shakes it as passionately as Topol.

Everybody loves the original of something - nobody can ever quite reproduce the magic from the original performer. I use Jerry Reed's guitar piece "The Claw" as an example - I've seen many play it, but they never get it the way Jerry did. The original creator and performer of a piece be it music or a theatrical performance, is always something special.

Honestly I would much prefer people mimicking his performance, just like how Mark Hamill has become the definitive voice of joker and most performance are just imitations

Hargreaves Railway Films the musical god

I still prefer Mostel, but this guy's right up there.

What a privilege. : )

I would have paid good money to have seen Topol on stage.

ilovehorses 1026 good luck!

Thank you, BB TT!!

ilovehorses 1026 break a leg btw that's show talk for good luck

Cinnamon Crush so did you get role?

how did you go?

+BNSF1995 he is a lyric baritone and valjean is supposed to be a tenor..but i would love to see him as valjean!!

Anthony has a vocal range unlike anything I've ever heard, I do believe he could pull off Valjean. After all, him and Colm Wilkinson have shared plenty of musical roles (The Phantom, Jekyll & Hyde)

I would seriously admire him as Valjean, have you heard his Bring Him Home cover?

BNSF1995 Anthony needs to play Valjean and Colm Wilkinson needs to play Tevye.

BNSF1995 MAYBE JAVERT

I don’t think so! But I’ve heard he’s done some songs from the show in concert, so hopefully it’s something he’s considering for the future!

yep :)

Thanks, Haelina Lee

I assume from the lack of audience reaction DURING the number that there was no live audience present when this was filmed either (perhaps because good camera placement would not then have been possible). Agreed that the effect is odd. But makes it all the more impressive that he's able to invest so much energy and spontaneity in the performance without anyone having been there to react.

Nope... It's the songs own original tune

I think it’s the tone of the vowel and the vocal cracks that do it!

Well, that section is written as part of the original song (i.e. it's not interpolating another specific piece), but it's definitely referencing a characteristic melodic gesture of lamentation often found in cantorial and klemzer music -- one that makes a striking use of the descending harmonic minor scale, with its expressive fall of an augmented-second interval. It also stands out because the rest of the song is mostly in a major key.
