MD Theatre Guide — “Sarah Parker's sharp choreography skillfully adapts to the in-the-round staging while honoring traditional Jewish and Russian dances, elevating Jerome Robbins' iconic choreography for this talented cast.”
The Washington Post — “The movement in Fiddler is already so well-integrated into the storytelling... When the bar erupts with Sarah Parker's choreography during the engagement celebration “To Life," it didn't even occur to me that they might not be doing that if the scene were in real life.”
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
Choreographer - helen hayes award nominee
Directed by Joe Calarco
Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA / November 11, 2025 - January 25, 2026
DC Theater Arts — “This is a show that moves. Sarah Parker's choreography is energetic, athletic, and ideally suited to the moment, whether the free-wheeling dancing at the wedding, the surreal dream sequence, or a pair dance for Perchik and Hodel. Parker and Calarco design the movement in the show so that every step, every hand gesture of the musical numbers is tightly coordinated... Presenting the show in the round both necessitates and facilitates the production's energy and movement.”
