Fiddler on the Roof is a celebration of life and its challenges.

Trying to balance life - like a fiddler on a roof - Tevye attempts to

hold onto his traditions despite sweeping social change that is

upsetting his family values while threatening his town's very existence.



Fiddler on the Roof first appeared on Broadway in 1964 and swept the

Tony's with nine "Best" awards including Best Musical for a score that

features "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," "If I were a Rich Man," "Sunrise,

Sunset," and "Do You Love Me."

The film adaptation was

released in 1971 and scored three Oscars including Best Score

Adaptation for John Williams. It also won the Golden Globe for Best

Picture.

Fiddler on the Roof is based on Sholem Aleichem

stories with Book by Joseph Stein, Music by Jerry Bock and Lyrics by

Sheldon Harnick.
