Fiddler on the Roof

Travel the roads of Anatevke with Tevye, his dairy cart, his wife and five daughters. As the sun rises and sets on his beloved Russian town, he dreams of a better future for his family. In the face of Czarist incursions, his world is changing. Fast. Each daughter makes her marriage match as Tevye stands poised in the precarious balance between tradition and life?s great unknowns. With melodies descending from the rooftops, we?ll discover that "wherever you love is home."
