Photo Flash: First Look at Surflight Theatre's 50th Anniversary Production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

Directed and choreographed by Norb Joerder. Packed with memorable music, rousing dances and a touch of human wisdom, the beloved classic, Fiddler on the Roof features a score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, with a book by Joseph Stein, based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem.

Celebrating its 50th Anniversary of its Broadway debut, this award-winning musical captures the colorful story of one Jewish father's struggle to hold on to his family's traditions amidst the rebellious antics of his three independent daughters and the turmoil of an ever-changing world. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. One of the beloved musical scores in the history of the American theatre includes "Tradition," "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," "If I Were a Rich Man," and "Sunrise, Sunset."
