Based on the stories of Sholem Aleichem, Fiddler on the Roof follows Tevye the milkman as his rebellious daughters force him to reconsider some of the traditions he holds dear. A classic since its Broadway premiere in 1964, the score introduced such favorites as "If I Were a Rich Man," "Matchmaker," "Sunrise, Sunset," and "Tradition."
Fein's creative team includes musical supervisor Mark Aspinall, musical director Dan Turek, choreographer Julia Cheng, fight and intimacy director Yarit Dor, scenic and costume designer Tom Scutt (a 2024 Tony winner), lighting designer Aideen Malone, sound designer Nick Lidster for Autograph, and Jewish culture, religion, and history consultant Rabbi Rose Prevezer. Casting is by Stuart Burt, with New York casting by The Telsey Office's Kristian Charbonier.
