Synopsis: Experience Fiddler on the Roof in a new way – in Yiddish, the language of Tevye and his family! The rich Yiddish translation (with English supertitles) adds new depth and dimension to the most well-known Jewish musical in the world. Don’t miss the beloved story of a community and its struggle to balance traditions and desires in a changing world. The little town of Anatevka will bustle with the sounds of mame-loshn.
