Fiddler on the Roof, which opened in 1964 winning 8 Tony awards, is
one of those iconic musicals that many of us have either experienced on the
stage (since it’s a favorite high school production) or at the movies (classic 1971
film). It tells the story of Tevye, the father of five daughters, that tries to
maintain his family’s Jewish religious and cultural traditions as his world and
his community changes in 1905 Russia. It’s a play packed with masterful songs that
celebrates family, love, faith, and the traditions that give a sense of
belonging and stability during life changes and even hardships.
