Paramount Theatre Presents FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, Now thru 3/24

By:

Fiddler on the Roof, with Music by Jerry Bock, Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and Book by Joseph Stein, will be directed by Jim Corti, tonight, March 6 - 24, 2013 at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, Ill.

The unmistakable image of a Fiddler on the Roof...a metaphor for balancing life, for survival and for tradition. This is the story of Tevye, a simple and loving milkman, who does everything he can to maintain his family and their religious traditions. With five strong-willed daughters, a loyal yet independent wife and an ever-changing society, the safety and stability of his old world is disappearing.

Nominated for 10 Tony awards, and winner of nine, Fiddler on the Roof is a musical journey of love, loss, beliefs and family, and ultimately, a celebration of life and all its challenges. From the rich orchestrations and lyrics to the powerful full-company numbers and emotionally charged story, this is the show everyone should experience. Rated G.

Fiddler on the Roof will play Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; Sundays at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Press opening: Friday, March 8, 8 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Blvd., Aurora, Ill.
