Fiddler on the Roof is a classic musical that tells the heartfelt and bittersweet story of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman in the village of Anatevka, Russia, in the early 1900s. Tevye struggles to uphold his family’s traditions in the face of changing times, especially as his daughters begin to challenge the customs of arranged marriage. As each daughter chooses love over tradition—one marrying a poor tailor instead of a wealthy match, another falling for a revolutionary, and a third wedding outside the faith—Tevye is forced to confront the conflict between his deep-rooted beliefs and his love for his family.
Meanwhile, the Jewish community of Anatevka faces growing persecution from the Russian authorities, culminating in their forced expulsion from their home. Through humor, heartache, and resilience, Fiddler on the Roof explores themes of faith, family, and the struggle between tradition and progress. With unforgettable songs like If I Were a Rich Man, Matchmaker, Matchmaker, and Sunrise, Sunset, the musical paints a powerful picture of love, loss, and the endurance of the human spirit.
