Written by Joseph Stein and based on Sholem Aleichem’s short story Tevye and His Daughters, Fiddler on the Roof debuted at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway Sept. 22, 1964, and ran for 3,242 shows, becoming the longest-running musical in 1972. A 1971 movie version directed by Norman Jewison was nominated for Best Picture and picked up three Academy Awards. Fiddler on the Roof illustrates how strong family ties, customs, and love can help carry a Jewish family through the woes of oppression. This moving story is punctuated by an unforgettable score that weaves the haunting strains of “Sunrise, Sunset” and the rousing “If I Were A Rich Man” with the exuberant “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and triumphant “Tradition.” Rich in historical and ethnic detail, the musical has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. It’s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. Fiddler On the Roof is introducing a new generation to this uplifting celebration that raises its cup to joy! To love! To life!
