THEATRE WIN TICKETS FOR FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
Paul Michael Glaser has lived some life. After an early break in the classic 1971 film version of Fiddler on the Roof, in which he played revolutionary student Perchik, Glaser shot to fame as David Starsky in iconic 70s cop drama Starsky and Hutch.
Countless film and TV roles later (not to mention some other impressive credits – did you know he directed the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger flick The Running Man?), Glaser now comes full circle, taking on the central role of Tevye this Autumn in a brand new stage production of Fiddler On The Roof, directed and choreographed by (who else?) Craig Revel Horwood, of Strictly Come Dancing fame.
For your chance to win two tickets to see Glaser in action on the opening night of Fiddler on the Roof at the Festival Theatre on Tuesday 1 October at 7.30pm, just log on to listco.uk/offers and tell us: What was the full name of Paul Michael Glaser’s character in Starsky and Hutch?
