Fiddler on the Roof PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh Nov 20 through Nov 23, 2018 -Benedum
Fiddler on the Roof is one of those musicals that many of us have either experienced on the stage (since it’s a favorite high school production) or at the movie theater (1971 film). The musical opened in 1964 winning 8 Tony Awards and is packed with masterful songs. It tells the story of Tevye, the father of five daughters, who tries to maintain his family’s Jewish religious and cultural traditions as his world and his community change in 1905 Russia.
This is a new version of the classic musical with Israeli Film and TV star, Yehezkel Lazarov, playing the father, Tevye. I am excited to experience an updated version of this beloved show.
Join me from Nov 20 through Nov 25, 2018 at the Benedum Theater and experience a show about family, love and traditions. For tickets go to Trustarts.org.
