Fiddler on the Roof

2020 · 2h 28m

The Musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein, set in the Pale of Settlement of Imperial Russia in or around 1905. The story centres on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family's lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love (each one's choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of their Jewish faith and heritage) and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
