Yehezkel Lazarov, Maite Uzal and More to Star in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF North American Tour

Following an 18-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Israeli theatre and film star Yehezkel Lazarov, will lead the show's triumphant return as Tevye in the Fiddler on the Roof North American Tour. Full casting and upcoming tour dates have also been announced.

A beloved theatrical classic from Tony-winner Joseph Stein and Pulitzer Prize-winners Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, this production is directed by Tony Award ®-winner Bartlett Sher (To Kill a Mockingbird, South Pacific, The King and I) and choreographed by the acclaimed Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter.

"Fiddler has always been a profound story of family, traditions, profound challenges, and change," said Sher. "I don't think there has ever been a better time for it to return to our stages. After 20 months of isolation and collective endurance and in some cases real suffering, Tevye and his family offer us a tale of deep resilience and uplifting consequences. I can't wait for its return. It's a show we need more than ever!"
