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.
