Fiddler on the Roof

In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof continues to touch audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The story revolves around the poor milkman/philosopher Tevye who wants to marry off his daughters in keeping with his family’s ‘traditions.’ When his eldest daughter, Tzeitel, asks for her father’s blessing so that she can marry a poor tailor, Tevye is forced to choose between his daughter’s happiness and his firmly rooted beliefs.
