* Motel's "Finally acting like a man" moment. Even Tevye is impressed to the point that this is where he actually starts seriously considering the request. He's known Motel since he was a child, kind of still thinking of him as a child, and it doesn't help that Motel is soft-spoken and awkward and doesn't really stand up for himself. Then Motel (soon after twice asking Tevye not to shout at him) finally has had enough and shouts back that just because he's poor doesn't mean he and Tzeitel shouldn't be happy. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness It's so out of character for him]] that it basically shocks Tevye into giving it serious consideration. He also then swears that he will not let Tzeitel starve. So not only is he standing up for himself but he's showing that he understands that he's taking on a man's responsibility of being responsible for his family.

** ''Most'' productions use trick hats. This Troper attended her sister's middle school production, where six girls did the Bottle Dance with no tape, no string, just flat-topped hats and bottles. In three performances, only a single hat was dropped, even when they went from standing to kneeling and back!

** Some of them have even found the dance is ''easier'' without a trick hat. You just wear a hat big enough, push in the top, then rest the bottle in the dent. The tape to hold the bottle in place often isn't strong enough anyway.
