Sixty years since it debuted on Broadway, Fiddler on the Roof remains a worldwide phenomenon and one of the most celebrated musicals of all time, performed in no fewer than 16 languages in no fewer than 32 countries. The winner of nine Tony Awards, Fiddler retells the story of a Jewish family, holding strong to its traditions and faith in the face of changing times and the anti-Semitism of czarist Russia. Based on the stories of Sholem Aleichem and written by songwriters Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick and book writer, Joseph Stein, Fiddler’s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion. A great musical for the entire family, the score includes favorites such as “If I Were a Rich Man,” “Matchmaker,” Sunrise, Sunset,” and “Tradition.”
