(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey presents the musical Fiddler on the Roof for four performances from December 20-22. A beloved theatrical classic from Tony(R) winner Joseph Stein and Pulitzer Prize-winners Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, this Tony(R) Award-nominated production is directed by Tony(R) Award-winner Bartlett Sher (To Kill a Mockingbird, South Pacific, The King and I) and choreographed by the acclaimed Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter.
Fiddler on the Roof is the heartwarming story of fathers and daughters; husbands and wives; and life, love and laughter. This classic musical is rich with Broadway hits, including “To Life (L’Chaim!),” “If I Were A Rich Man,” "Sunrise Sunset,” "Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” and “Tradition.”
The original Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof, which opened in 1964 and featured choreography by Jerome Robbins, was the first musical in history to surpass 3,000 performances. The show won the 1965 Tony(R) Award for Best Musical in addition to eight other Tony(R) Awards that year. This acclaimed revival proudly introduces a new generation to the iconic musical adored across the globe.
