Fiddler on the Roof - Broadway tickets

One of the most revered musicals of the 20th Century, Fiddler on the Roof makes a triumphant return to the Great White Way, a decade after its last full-scale revival. Starring six time Tony nominee Danny Burnstein and directed by Bartlett Sher, this new production will use Jerome Robbins' original choreography and of course, the unforgettable, rousing songs, such as 'Tradition', 'Matchmaker, Matchmaker', 'If I Were A Rich Man' and 'Sunrise, Sunset' that truly cemented Fiddler in our hearts. Nominated for three 2016 Tony Awards, including Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for Danny Burnstien and Best Revival of a Musical! ### If I were a rich man... Based upon the short stories by Sholem Aleichem, Fiddler on Roof first premiered on Broadway in 1964, during the Golden Age of musical theatre. It won a staggering nine Tonys, and became an instant classic, not before going on to be adapted as eight-time Academy Award-nominated movie. Since then it has become a standard of the American musical repertoire, and the hilarious story elicits positive responses wherever it is played. ### What is Fiddler on the Roof About? At the turn of the 20th Century, Russia is a country on the brink of revolution. Although the chaos seems to seldom touch the isolated family of Tevye the Milkman, he sees the effect on his three elder daughters and the lives that they choose the lead. Tzeitel, the oldest has little prospects for a poor woman, when the widowed and ancient butcher Lazar Wolf shows interest in her whilst she pines for the poor tailor Motel, it begins a story of rebellion, violence, love and acceptance that finds Tevye and the family learning to leave behind their old lives and start a new one full of hope and laughter!
