"The superb new production certainly honors the show's ebullience of spirit...Mr. Burstein unleashes his rich baritone with roof-raising force when Tevye's emotion is at its height, bringing home the character's indomitable will."

Starring six time Tony nominee Danny Burstein and directed by Bartlett Sher, this wonderful production will use Jerome Robbins's' 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 Burnstein and Best Revival of a Musical!
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.
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!

Iconic, sensitive, beautiful
Fiddler on The Roof is a great example of how imperative story is. It captures a slice of time and reminds us that we must relish in the freedom we have, challenge the restrictions and prejudices on others, and embrace our differences.
