Secret's out -- it's Buzz

The secret's out. Buzz Cornell is Tevye in Sumter Little Theater's "Fiddler on the Roof," coming up Aug. 13 at Patriot Hall.
I went to the Wednesday night rehearsal of "Fiddler on the Roof," and was most impressed. Even without the completed set and the full orchestra, the cast seemed almost ready for opening night.
Buzz, who's equally talented as a singer and an actor, was wonderful singing "If I Were a Rich Man," and Zachary Hugo, whom I haven't seen before, sang "Miracle of Miracles" believably in a rich tenor.
Here you've got a talented cast, gifted and highly experienced director (Katie Damron), music director (Joni Brown), choreographer (Libby Singleton), costumer (Marge Cowles) -- and that's just scratching the surface. "Fiddler" is an enormous undertaking for a community theater and not many can do it like SLT. Just think of the recent "Oklahoma," and you'll realize what a talented bunch of people we have in Sumter.
I don't want to give too much away, but I heard a couple of other songs and saw some dancing, too. This is going to be a show you won't want to miss. You can already get tickets by calling 775-2150.
