Winner of 9 Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, and touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this universal show is a staple of the musical theatre canon. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. With iconic and beloved songs such as "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were A Rich Man," and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" Fiddler on the Roof is the perfect mix of audience-pleasing humor and heart.
