The Tony Award-winning musical is the tale of a poor Jewish milkman, his wife and five idealistic daughters who struggle with a shifting political atmosphere and the impact of modernity during Tsarist rule in Russia in the early 1900s. This time-honored musical captures the essential human longings for love, community, success, freedom, family and meaning.  Fiddler on the Roof is narrated through familiar songs including the classic “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” the boisterous “If I Were a Rich Man,” and the beautiful “Sunrise, Sunset” and many endearing quotes that transcend the show. Tevya, the main character, offers inspiring advice: “Life has its ups and downs, …but you've gotta have a little rain every once in a while to appreciate the sunshine.”

Hosted at the intimate and easily accessible Lakewood Cultural Center, this charming musical is co-presented with Performance Now Theatre Company, "a first-class organization in every sense of the word that creates some of the best musical productions seen in this community," said reviewer Beki Pineda. Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). MTI also supplies all authorized performance materials.
