“Fiddler on the Roof” is the groundbreaking, Tony Award winning Broadway musical recalling the bittersweet story of a Jewish family clinging to its sacred traditions in a rapidly changing world. Set in the early 1900s – against the backdrop of growing anti-Semitism in Tsarist Russia – a hardworking, but affable Jewish milkman must cope with the non-traditional choices of his three eldest daughters when each marries and leaves home.
This beloved show features several memorable tunes including “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Far From the Home I Love” plus stirring ensemble numbers including “Tradition,” “Sabbath Prayer” and “Sunrise, Sunset.”
Directed and choreographed by Nicola Bosco-Alvarez, this full-staged production showcases performers of the Young People’s Teen Musical Theatre Company featuring 22 young adults from ages 13 to 19 and a youth ensemble featuring children ages 6 to 12 years old. The production is presented with live music orchestration under the musical direction of Jess Hamel.
