For my dad, who always says his lines!

"Go ahead. Take the book." (and my heart)
-
I love the way he puts her at ease with a bit of self-deprecating humor.
-
Chava is a somewhat overlooked but wonderful actress. The way she reacted in this scene was so believable, I felt like I was right there. The way she took the book and then finally looked at him before saying his name...
-
'Do you feel about me the way they feel about you? I did not think you would.' Perhaps the best response to ingrained prejudices ever made.
-
I like Chava's facial expressions when he's talking to her. First curious, then intrigued and finally smitten.
-
I’m playing Chava in a community theatre production and OMG our Fyedka is so good (and attractive) I’m literally swooning every time we do his scene ❤️
-
I don't have high standards in men because of Disney. I have high standards in men because of Fyedka.
-
This is a very romantic scene - Fyedka tall, athletic & handsome but of quiet demeanour and Chava pretending to be uninterested but shyly enjoying the attention.
-
The way Fyedka described himself, my thoughts went “What a Tinder bio” 😂
-
As a Byzantine Catholic gal, meeting a cute Christian Orthodox boy on an old Russian country road would be a dream come true 🙃♥️😄
-
Rip Ray Lovelook, actor of Fyedka, he passed away in November
-
Before touching the book, she looks both ways to make good and sure no Jews are watching. Or anyone else for that matter.
-
When you’re Fyedka and Chava at the same time. Respectable and full of well-intentioned ideas and feelings, but too shy and cautious.
-
I kind of knew I’d be a Chava. When I met my current partner, my “traditions” collapsed and opened me to a healthier relationship than I would get if I kept my “traditions”.
-
what i find interesting is that fyedka introduces himself using a diminutive form of his name (a nickname) - his proper name is presumably fyodor. not that that's wrong or improper, just that it shows he's trying to create a sense of intimacy (familiarity) right from the start, whereas chava is hesitant to even speak to him

I played Lazar Wolf in our schools musical back in 1994 and I remember with great joy taking part in it. This play brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. So full of emotions, beautiful music and a piece of art as it is. Cherish it and enjoy it. Words cannot express how it touches me.
-
The sweet man who played Fyedka died young in real life of Cancer. So sad!
-
"I'm a pleasant fellow..." SO CUTE! I love these two! XD
-
He is so CUTE!! I have a major crush on him. I loved how he talked to her about the book!! 😍😍

I guess I do not view him as a flat actor, I view him in character as overcoming his timidity and fear of talking to a Jewish girl which, of course, was utterly taboo. That is just my opinion, but I agree, he does not have a lot of inflection; however, I accredit that to his character and the time period. It IS a musical, but he's hardly going to pull a Fred Astaire during this first forbidden exchange. :-) Not arguing, just telling my spin on it. CHEERS! Have a safe holiday weekend...
