Fiddler on the Roof
OBSP continues the “tradition”
of great American musicals with one of Broadway’s greatest musicals of all
time, Fiddler on the Roof. This multi-award-winning musical has captured the
hearts of people all over the world. This rousing
musical, based on the stories of Shalom Aleichem, takes place in
pre-revolutionary Russia and centers on the life of Tevye, a milkman who is
trying to keep his family’s traditions in place while marrying off his three
older daughters. Yet, times are changing and the daughters want to make their
own matches, breaking free of many of the constricting customs required of them
by Judaism. In the background of these events, Russia is on the brink of
revolution and Jews are feeling increasingly unwelcome in their villages.
Tevye–who expresses his desire for sameness in the opening number,
“Tradition”–is trying to keep everyone, and everything, together.
