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 Tsarist Russia. Rich in
historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler On The Roof has touched audiences around the world
with its humor, warmth and honesty. It's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers
of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy
and sadness. The show features a star turn in Tevye, among the most memorable roles in
musical theatre.
Its celebrated score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, features
songs loved the world over: "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were A Rich Man,"
and "Matchmaker," to name a few. Fiddler On The Roof is simply Broadway at its
very best. |
