Fiddler on the Roof

One of the most acclaimed musicals ever, Fiddler on the Roof is the heartwarming story of Teyve, a bone-poor but indomitable dairyman, and his daughters who are all of marriageable age. Based on the stories by Yiddish fiction-writer Sholom Alelchem, the tale is set in the fictional village of Anatevka in Czarist Russia in 1905. It is the dawn of the revolution and the end of a way of life for the tradition-bound Jewish community, which Teyve cherishes. The winner of nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this enchanting family tale contains such memorable songs as “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” “Matchmaker Matchmaker” and “Far From The Home I Love.” The New York Times describes it as “A musical filled with laughter and tenderness; it catches the essence of a moment in history with sentiment and radiance.”
