Fiddler on the Roof premiered at Alhambra Theatre and Dining on August 4th, “ya ba diba diba diba diba diba diba dum!” The musical, which first premiered in 1964, takes place in Anatevka in 1905 just before the Russian Revolution.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Opens At Alhambra Theatre & Dining
Much has happened to the venerable Alhambra Theatre & Dining since Fiddler on the Roof was last produced there in February of 2003, not the least of which is an ownership change from Todd Booth to Craig Smith. But some things have stayed the same: Todd Booth is still either on stage or behind the curtain and Fiddler on the Roof is as popular as ever.

BWW Feature: Revitalized Alhambra Celebrates 50 Years
In the summer of 2009, local businessman Craig Smith took a huge gamble on Jacksonville's failing Alhambra Dinner Theatre, which had decided to close its doors after 42 years of production. The longest-running professional dinner theatre in the country had, for a number of reasons (not the least of which being the poor economy in the late 2000's) seen its subscription base drop from a peak of about 4,500 to 500 and struggle to fill even half the house at discounted prices.
