Produced by Special Arrangements with
Music Theatre International
The setting for this memborable musical is a small peasant town in Tsarist Russia -- Anatevka. Tevye, a dairyman, along with his wife and five daughters, comprise one of the hard-working families of the community. Here these people live as their forefathers did, observing the ways handed down to them, following the dictates of tradition.
Their lives are filled with simple joys of living guided by ltheir ability to take adversity with gentle humor and faith in God. Enjoyment is found in the daily rituals as well as the dreams and hopes of simple folk.
Tevye, a pious man, tries to raise his five daughters according to the ways of the Good Book. However, the old ways of tradition no longer suffice and Tevye and his friends will have to become part of this changing world.
After a pogrom which takes place at the wedding of one of Tevye's daughters, the people realize that the old ways do not work, and at the close of the play they set out to find new lives in new lands, taking with them their few meager possessions and their abiding faith in God.
