The 2015 production of Fiddler on the Roof marks the second time the musical will have appeared at Way Off Broadway. The first production, which was a part of the 2006 Season and starred H. Alan Hoffman as Tevye, is still one of the most popular and highest selling shows Way Off Broadway has ever produced.
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. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
Fiddler on the Roof runs from March 13 – May 30, with performances every Friday and Saturday evening, and matinees on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sunday of each month. Way Off Broadway’s production is directed by Bill Kiska, with music direction by Jordan B. Stocksdale.
