Before you read Name of the Rose, watch Fiddler on the Roof. I generally dislike musicals but I consider Fiddler to be one of the finest examples of staged entertainment there is. I enjoy it so much that I actually broke my streak of never doing anything with the drama club in high school because it was rumored they were doing Fiddler (I ended up playing Prospero instead which is a whole 'nuther story). I was talking to a bunch of actors up in Vancouver and the subject of musicals came up. The unchallenged consensus was that Fiddler was the best musical ever made.
