Based on Sholem Aleichem's Tevye stories
By permission of Arnold Perl
Based on the tales by Shalom Aleichem and set in Tzarist Russia in 1905, this touching musical tells the story of Tevye, a poor milkman, who must weigh his family's happiness against the traditions that have preserved a way of life in his village for centuries. His eldest daughters want to marry for love rather than an auspicious match, and outside political forces threaten everything he holds dear. The beloved score with a book by Joseph Stein, Music by Jerry Bock and Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick celebrates 50 years in 2014.
Begins August 17, 2009 at 8:00 pm, Ends August 20, 2009 at Midnight

When a property as old and as sacred as FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is revived for new audiences, one would expect either a fresh, new take on a familiar show, or a disastrous series of experiments that disparages its source material. Neither is the case in the current touring production of the classic stage musical. For those seeking a safe, well-executed return to a good, old-fashioned book musical, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF fits the (play)bill nicely.
