Breakdown
SEEKING:
Tevye
The Dairyman: Tevye is a likeable, hard-working, pious man who sees the positive side of life. He has raised his five daughters according to the Scriptures, many of which he invents himself. He is humorous and relaxed, but when pushed, Tevye can show stubbornness, and at times, rage.
Golde
Tevye’s wife. Golde is the real strength behind Tevye, the one who keeps the household going. She is very concerned that her daughters make good matches and have easier lives than she and Tevye have had. Golde must be a strong singer with comic timing.
Yente
The Matchmaker: Yente is a middle-aged widow who matches up the young people of the village in the hopes that they will marry. She is the village busybody and knows all the news of the town. Yente is the comedienne of the show with a flare for an Eastern European-Jewish-Yiddish dialect. Also plays Grandma Tzeitel: Grandma Tzeitel is a ghost figure who appears in the Dream Scene.
Lazar Wolf
The Butcher: Lazar is the town’s wealthiest citizen and is the same age as Tevye, maybe even older. He wants to marry, by traditional parental arrangement, Tevye’s daughter, Tzeitel, promising to give her a good and secure life. This is a feisty, comic role requiring a strong comic actor; loud and coarse.
Tzeitel
The eldest daughter: Tzeitel is the first daughter to marry and the first to challenge the traditions. She has a desperate crying scene with Tevye when faced with marrying Lazar Wolf instead of Motel, who she really loves. Tzeitel must be a capable dramatic actress and able to sing and move well.
Motel
The Tailor: Motel is a rather meek and miserably poor tailor who seeks the hand of Tevye’s eldest daughter, Tzeitel, and comes into his own in the process! This is a terrific character role needing a sensitive, nervous, but lovable portrayal.
Hodel
The second eldest daughter: Hodel becomes intrigued with the radical, young student, Perchik , and eventually leaves Anatevka to join him in Siberia where he has been imprisoned for his reform activities. Hodel needs to move well.
Perchik
The student: Perchik is a visitor to Anatevka, and therefore, an outsider, bringing with him radical new ideas that challenge the traditions. He falls for Hodel, the second eldest daughter. The role of Perchik requires an actor capable of showing intensity and an unfailing commitment to his beliefs.
Chava
Third eldest daughter: Chava is the scholarly daughter who loves to read. She falls in love with and runs off with Fyedka, a Russian soldier, and breaks her father’s heart. This role requires a capable dramatic actress who also sings and dances*.
Fyedka
A Russian soldier: Fyedka, a strong young soldier, sees past his military obligations and falls in love with Chava. He challenges Tevye’s imposed silence towards him; must be a strong dancer*.
Shprintze:
Shprintze is the fourth eldest daughter of Tevye.
Bielke: Shprintze is the youngest daughter of Tevye.
MALE ENSEMBLE Seeking Strong Character Actor-Singer-Dancers*; Jugglers (Flying Karamazov Bros); Tumblers; Acro-Clowning: Eccentric Dancers (Leo Fuchs); Violinist.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE: Strong Singer-Actor-Dancers; all play Mothers
Shaindel, Motel’s Mother + Fruma-Sarah--ghost figure who appears in the Dream Scene. She portrays LazarWolf’s departed wife who becomes enraged that her husband plans on marrying Tzeitel.
