In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.
Full of wonderful characters and rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. Its universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
The lush score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick has been embraced as one of the best ever written for the stage with standards such as "Matchmaker", "If I Were a Rich Man", "Sunrise, Sunset", and "Do You Love Me?"
