Winner of 9 Tony Awards! 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.

Suggested for ages 10+. Parents/guardians are always in charge of deciding whether or not a child is too young to attend the theater, but we do not allow children under the age of 5 to attend.

Fiddler on the Roof is presented by special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
