Fiddler on the Roof

Summer Lyric Theater at Tulane presents this popular favorite, rich in historical and ethnic detail. Winner of nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, Fiddler on the Roof is one of the all-time greats. In fact, it became the longest running Broadway show ever–a distinction it held for 7 years. Set in a Jewish village on the eve of the Russian Revolution, this heart?warming tale revolves around Tevye, the philosphical dairyman trying to marry off his daughters and come to terms with a dramatically changing world. The celebrated score–with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick–includes “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker.”
