Yente, The Matchmaker: Yente is a middle-aged widow who matches up the young people of the village in the hopes that they will marry. She is the village busybody and knows all the town news. Yente is the comedienne of the show with a flare for an Eastern European-Jewish-Yiddish dialect.
Lazar Wolf, The Butcher: Lazar is the town's wealthiest citizen and is the same age as Tevye, maybe even older. He wants to marry, Tevye's daughter. This is a feisty, comic role requiring a strong comic actor; loud and coarse. Age 50-65.

Hodel: The second eldest daughter, Hodel, becomes intrigued with the radical student, Perchik , and eventually leaves Anatevka to join him in Siberia. Age 20-25; needs to move and sing well.
Perchik, The Student: Perchik is a visitor to Anatevka, and therefore, an outsider bringing with him radical new ideas that challenge the traditions. He falls for Hodel, the second eldest daughter. He must be a strong actor, singer and move well. Age 25-35.
Chava, Third Eldest Daughter: Chava is the scholarly daughter who loves to read. She falls in love and runs off with Fyedka, a Russian soldier. In her early 20's, she must be a strong actress, who MUST sing and dance well.
