Here, a central character hides behind so many layers of deceit, he almost believes his own version of the truth while his wife refuses to believe their son died in the war. The pitfalls of capitalism and the hollowness of the American Dream certainly resonate today as they did after World War II.
Robles repeatedly steals the show - as the best Lady of the Lakes do - with precise comic timing and delivery, impressively and intentionally over-the-top vocal work (which would given even "Songbird Supreme" Mariah Carey a run for the money) and an ability to both spoof and embrace full-throttle divadom.
The show is strong on the simple folk melodies that underpin Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's memorable songs. Crucially Adam Dannheisser as Tevye the Milkman dials down the belly-rolling comic antics to offer a work-weary but dignified everyman.
