Fiddler on the Roof

Book by Joseph Stein
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Music by Jerry Bock

APRIL 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 & 13, 2025

Some mistakenly believe that Fiddler is a dark story. Nothing could be further from the truth. This classic musical is set in 1905 Russia in the fictional Jewish village of Anatevka. Change is coming, and Tevye the dairyman must balance his love for his traditions with the love for his family.

“Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as… as a Fiddler on the Roof,” announces Tevye. So begins a tale of light, love and laughter, devotion and defiance, and changing times.

Fiddler is a masterpiece. The show is touching, beautiful, warm, funny and inspiring. The show itself has become a tradition, passed on lovingly from parents to children. Fiddler has the power to move audiences like no other American musical ever made.

“Fiddler goes directly to the heart. The show reaches you, no matter who you are or where you are in life. It changes with you.” —Harvey Fierstein-Tevye
