Fiddler on the Roof at Theatre UP

This incredibly famous and long beloved Tony winning musical has touched audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, for over 60 years.  The tale of Tevye and his family’s struggles in a changing Russia is a true musical theatre tradition. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
