Listen to the episode here:

Nearly a year after their first conversation, acclaimed actress Alexandra Silber and BroadwayWorld and BroadwayRadio’s Matt Tamanini talk about her new book “After Anatevka,” which follows the journey of Tevye’s second oldest daughter Hodel as she travels far from the home she loves in search of her imprisoned fiancé, Perchik.

During the conversation, Al explains how writing the book brought her to a better understanding of herself, why the “Matchmaker” scene in “Fiddler on the Roof’s” most recent Broadway revival was so different from those that came before it, and how the death of her father impacted the story in “After Anatevka.”

“After Anatevka” is available now on Amazon and at booksellers nationwide.

About Alexandra Silber

ALEXANDRA SILBER is an internationally acclaimed actress and singer who starred most recently as Tzeitel in the Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof. She earlier played Hodel in the same show in London’s West End. Those two roles inspired her to write After Anatevka.

Her other Broadway, New York, Regional and West End credits include Master Class, The Woman in White, My Fair Lady, Arlington (Outer Critics Circle nomination), Carousel (TMA Award and Ovation Nomination), Kiss Me Kate, She Loves Me, and Hello, Again (Drama League nomination).

She received a Grammy nomination for her acclaimed portrayal of Maria in the recording of West Side Story with the San Francisco Symphony.

She has appeared on all three incarnations of “Law & Order” and has performed in a variety of concert outlets including the 57th Grammy Awards, Royal Albert Hall, and Carnegie Hall.

She lives in New York City with her (very famous) cat Tatiana Angela Lansbury. 

This is her first novel.
