Oh, that Harvey Feinstein is such a ham, isn' he?
One minute, he's garnering accolades for a bang-on characterization on the old boob tube.
The next, Mr. Feirstein has 'em rolling in the aisles when he tries his acting chops in an off-beat feature film role.
When I passed the marquee on Market Street announcing that the celebrated award-winning triple-threat (singing, dancer, actor) was stepping into the role of a main character in the popular Broadway musical - Fiddler On the Roof - my knee-jerk reaction was swift-and -severe.
Oy veh!
That ham.
The secret was definitely out:
Harvey is in San Francisco and about to rustle up a powerhouse of entertainment (and much-deserved applause) in his latest head-scratching incarneration on the West Coast stage.
In fact, when I spied the excited throngs hopping off the trolley and streaming out of Bart (the public transport system under Market Street), I whipped out my camera to catch the electricity in the air that sparked the mood of theatre-goers headed into the lobby for a cocktail or two before last curtain call (Matinee).

A perennial hit since it first opened in 1964 - Fiddler - has enjoyed critical acclaim for bringing to the stage a poignant story about the enduring bonds of the family.
Now, the national touring production of this timeless musical brings the wit and wisdom of Tevye and his family to audiences throughout the United States with the reproduction of Jerome Robbins' famous masterpiece.
Harvey Fierstein stars as the iconic milkman (Tevye).
San Francisco audiences will undoubtedly be on the edge of their plush seats at the Golden Gate Theatre on one of those rare opportunities when they'll be able to catch the Tony Award-winning actor inhabit one of his favorite meaty roles.
Theatre critics have hailed the musical stage production as a timeless classic.
