It's a new world, a new world. Love.
Why see Fiddler on the Roof?
A New Fiddler For London
Beloved musical theatre classic Fiddler On The Roof smashed records when its first 1964 run on Broadway surpassed over 3000 performances, garnering a total of nine Tony Awards for its humour, warmth, honesty, and celebration of the proud Jewish tradition. The Jerome Robbins and Harold Prince penned hit enjoyed an all-new staging from director Jordan Fein (Oklahoma) as part of Regent's Park Open Air Theatre's 2024 season, now the show continues to rise the ranks as it heads to London's off-West End Barbican Theatre following an electrifying sell-out season!
What Is The Story?
The Fiddler on the Roof chronicles the struggles of the poor Jewish milkman in the rapidly changing world of the early 1900s, against the backdrop of the pogroms and forced expulsions of Jewish shtetls in Russia. Three of his five headstrong daughters are determined to marry for love, but Tevye is as equally determined to make them stable matches that align with their traditions, aware that the balance of their lives is as precarious as a fiddler perched on a roof.
