FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Returns to Sydney

The world's most loved, all-time record-breaking Broadway show returns to Sydney's south in March when Rockdale Musical Society presents FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, starring award-winning ADAM SCICLUNA as Tevye.

This well-loved, all-time record-breaking Broadway musical returns to the Rockdale Town Hall in March 2018 with a superb cast, headed by multi-award-winning entertainer ADAM SCICLUNA in the iconic lead role of Tevye.

Based on Sholom Aleichem's Tevye and his Daughters, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is the beautiful story of the small, traditional town of Anatevka, where Jews and Russians live in a delicate balance. Through the eyes of the endearingly philosophical Tevye - a father of five daughters ("Five... daughters!") - we watch as he defends and then is forced to challenge the time-honoured traditions of his village.

In a time riddled with conflict, we see his daughters grow up and fall in love and his community of loveable, colourful characters endure and adapt to a new world. Famous songs include "If I Were a Rich Man", "Tradition", "L'Chaim (To Life)" and so many more.

Rich in historical and cultural detail, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF has touched audiences around the world with its humour, warmth and honesty. Its universal themes of tradition, love and the challenges of modernity cut across barriers of identity, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences weeping tears of sadness, laughter and joy. Don't miss it!

Adam Scicluna returns to Rockdale as Tevye, one of the great roles in the musical theatre repertoire. Adam is a multi-award-winning entertainer having been honoured with the Australian Entertainment Mo award; Peter Allen Performer of the Year (2013 & 2012), the Australian Club Entertainment Award; Male Vocal Performer of the Year (2008, 2007, 2006 & 2004) and many more.

Directed by Colin & Bob Peet, with musical direction from Peter Sampson and choreography by Chris Bamford, the cast also features Charmaine Gibbs as Golde (fresh from her star turn as Anna in The King and I for RMS), Cathy Boyle as Yente the matchmaker, Paul Adderley as Lazar Wolf the butcher, Veronica Clavijo, Emilie Davila and Isabella McIntosh as Tevye's three eldest daughters Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava, Adrian Espulso as Motel the tailor, Tyson Dinne as Perchik, Ana Lawford as Grandma Tzeitel, Neil Litchfield as the Constable, Greg Werner as Mordcha the innkeeper and dozens more superb performers in an all-singing, all-dancing ensemble that celebrates life in all its richness. L'Chaim!
