SHOW SUMMARY

Fiddler on the Roof

The award-winning tale of Tevye the Dairyman and his family’s struggles in a changing Russia is a true musical theatre tradition. Winner of nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler on the Roof is the brainchild of Broadway legends, Jerome Robbins and Harold Prince; songwriters, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick; and bookwriter, Joseph Stein.

Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values 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’s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion-conscious casting are the lifeblood of theatre. As such, we encourage, enable, and celebrate all people auditioning to consider the character that speaks to them, regardless of race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or attractionality, national origin, adult age, disability, and/or genetic information.
