Jessica Hecht and Adam Kantor are also in the revival, as Golde and Motel, respectively. The production will be directed by Tony Award nominee Bartlett Sher, who was most recently nominated for a Tony Award for the current Broadway revival of The King and I. Sher has directed Burstein on Broadway in the revivals of Golden Boy, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and South Pacific.

Fiddler on the Roof will be choreographed by Hofesh Shechter, inspired by the original choreography ofJerome Robbins. The Music Director will be Ted Sperling (The King and I, South Pacific).

Fiddler on the Roof has book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964 had the first musical theatre run in history to surpass 3,000 performances. The show won the 1965 Tony Award for Best Musical in addition to eight other Tony Awards that year.

The design team includes scenic design by Michael Yeargan (Tony Award nominee, The King and I), costume design by Catherine Zuber (Tony Award winner, The King and I), and lighting design by Donald Holder (Tony Award nominee, The King and I). Fiddler on the Roof will be their 5th Broadway production working with Sher, after South Pacific, Golden Boy, The Bridges of Madison County, and The King and I. Sound design is by Scott Lehrer (A Delicate Balance, South Pacific). Casting is by Telsey + Co./Abbie Brady Dalton.

Miracle of miracles! A Broadway tradition returns: Fiddler on the Roof. Tony-winning director Bartlett Sher and the creative team of South Pacific and The King and I bring a fresh and authentic vision to this beloved theatrical masterpiece from Tony winner Joseph Stein and Pulitzer Prize winners Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick. The original production won ten Tony Awards including a special Tony for becoming the longest-running Broadway musical of all time-and now you can be there when the sun rises on this new production starring five-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein as Tevye with stunning new choreography from acclaimed Israeli artist Hofesh Shechter inspired by the original choreography of Jerome Robbins.

A dazzling cast and a lavish orchestra tell this heartwarming story of fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, and the timeless traditions that define faith and family. Featuring the Broadway classics To Life (L'Chaim!), If I Were A Rich Man, Sunrise Sunset, Matchmaker Matchmaker, and Tradition, Fiddler on the Roof will introduce a new generation to this uplifting celebration that raises its cup to joy! To love! To life!
