I have a vague memory of seeing him play Tevye at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago but have been unable to confirm this as fact. It would have to have been in the 70's.
I saw Theodore Bikel play Tevye in a downtown theatre in Chicago. That was probably in the mid to late sixties. I think he also played the part in several traveling productions.
