“Fiddler” is the beloved story of Tevye, a poor dairyman in Czarist Russia who tries to maintain his family and the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community while outside influences threaten to tear apart all that he holds dear.  Rich in historical and ethnic detail, “Fiddler On The Roof” has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. Its universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. “Fiddler On The Roof” features book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick.  Based on Sholem Aleichem's stories by special permission of Arnold Perl. “Fiddler On The Roof” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
