Fiddler on the Roof (The George Theater)

Fiddler on the Roof is a musical set in the early 1900s in the small Jewish village of Anatevka in Imperial Russia. The story follows the life of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman, as he tries to maintain his religious and cultural traditions while dealing with the challenges of poverty, anti-Semitism, and the changing times. He must cope with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters as well as his own domestic pressures. As the story progresses, the village faces increasing persecution and violence from the government, and the residents are forced to leave their homes and flee to other countries. Fiddler on the Roof explores themes of tradition, family, love, and loss, and is considered one of the most beloved and enduring musicals of all time.
