The Magic of Theo Bikel

Thursday, January 22

7:00 PM

Aimee Ginsburg-Bikel, widow of the late, great icon Theodore Bikel, z”l. In honor of his centennial, Aimee has created a moving and memorable program that celebrates the incredible artistry, spirit, and global activism that Theo Bikel embodied throughout his long and remarkable life.

As the actor who played Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof more than 2,000 times—more than any other performer—Theo Bikel captivated audiences with his warmth, wit, and humanity. But his legacy extends far beyond the stage. He was also a passionate advocate for social justice.

Through personal stories, rare video footage, and live musical tributes, Aimee Ginsburg-Bikel brings Theo’s story to life, offering a deeply personal and inspiring evening that honors his memory and the magic he brought to the world.
