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.

According to the Daily Mail, Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky and Hutch) will play 'Tevye' in Fiddler on the Roof at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, directed by Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood.
