Music by Jerry Bock | Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick | Book by Joseph Stein One of the most beloved musicals of all time, Fiddler on the Roof returns to The Encore stage with its timeless tale of family, tradition, and resilience. Set in a tight-knit Jewish village in Tsarist Russia, the story follows Tevye, a humble dairyman, as he tries to preserve his heritage while his daughters forge their own paths. Featuring classic songs like “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Matchmaker,” and “Sunrise, Sunset,” this poignant and joyful musical continues to resonate with audiences across generations. A celebration of culture and change, Fiddler is a must-see cornerstone of musical theatre. This production is generously sponsored by Marci and Stephen Feinberg.
