Synopsis: The seemingly simple story of Tevye, a milkman, and his family has been captivating audiences since 1964 when Fiddler on the Roof first debuted on Broadway and won a sensational 9 Tony Awards. This classic musical, set in early 1900s Russia, follows Tevye as he navigates the challenges of being a father to his daughters while the world around him becomes increasingly modern right before his eyes. With the help of his community and family, Tevye learns through a series of challenges that love, faith and tradition are closely intertwined. As we still see today, in some cases, love must prevail over tradition, and in others, our love for tradition and faith is what keeps our community alive.
