Tradition! Rich in historical and ethnic detail, the musical Fiddler on the Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives.
He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, each one's choice of husband moves farther away from the customs of her faith, and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. Its universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion. The Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964, was the first run of a musical in history to surpass the 3,000 performance mark and won 9 Tony Awards including Best Musical! Rated (G)
