They want Maddie to «date» their son, Percy (Feldman), a socially inept 19-year-old who has so far expressed no interest in girls, parties or other teenage exploits, leading to some hilariously awkward moments.Check out the full bloopers in the video above!When ET spoke with Lawrence at the premiere in New York City back in June, she revealed another fun fact from set: that she got Feldman to defer his studies at Harvard University to take on the role in the raunchy rom-com.«I mean, when Andrew left his audition, the door closed and we all looked at each other and we were like, 'That's our — that's Percy,' and then they were like there's one complication, he's supposed to go to Harvard, and we were like, 'Is that a joke?'» Lawrence explained.«He was fully the character, so I called him and said, 'Andrew, I have really bad news, you're not gonna be able to finish your semester at Harvard,'» she continued.

Sheldon Harnick, ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ lyricist, dies at 99
Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles,” famed director Jerome Robbins kept asking producer Hal Prince, “What is this show about?”“For God’s sake, Jerry,” Prince replied. “It’s about tradition!”Its tryout in Detroit, Mich., where it ran over three and a half hours, was poorly received by critics.Despite those hurdles, “Fiddler,” starring Zero Mostel as Tevye and Beatrice Arthur as the Matchmaker, became a huge hit on Broadway, running eight years (a long time back then) and spawning multiple revivals and the Oscar-nominated 1971 Norman Jewison film starring Topol. Harnick’s lyrics are ingrained in the minds of millions: “Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch;” “If I were a rich man”; “To life! To life! L’Chaim!”  The original production won the Tony Award for Best Musical, and Bock and Harnick won the Tony for Best Composer and Lyricist.One actor who played Tevye the milkman during the 2005 revival of “Fiddler” was Harvey Fierstein, who mourned Harnick in a statement.“As a devotee of theater, as a Jew, as a person who admires brilliance and gentility, I loved Sheldon Harnick and today he left us,” Fierstein said.
