Fiddler on the Roof is the iconic musical which won the 1965 Tony Award for Best Musical. Based off of Tevye and His Daughters and other tales by Sholem Aleichem, the story centers on a man named Tevye in Imperial Russia in 1905, who tries his best to protect his five daughters and Jewish traditions in light of encroaching cultural influences.

What's Fiddler on the Roof (2015) Like?

The show is a beautiful piece featuring many lead roles as well as a hearty ensemble. One by one, Tevye’s daughters get married – first Tzeitel chooses to marry her childhood friend, a poor tailor named Motel, instead of a rich but older butcher named Lazar Wolf. Then, his next daughter Hodel chooses to marry a student revolutionary named Perchik who violates many of Tevye’s traditional beliefs. Finally, his third daughter Chava chooses to marry Fyedka, a Russian who is not even Jewish, and therefore elopes with him. Tevye must face the changing landscape of his daughter’s generation as well as his homeland, as the Jews must eventually leave Anatevka for a safer land.

Is Fiddler on the Roof (2015) Good for Kids?

Yes, the show is an excellent musical for families. It is recommended for children over the age of 6. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
