Coming to Canterbury for one week only, in what is set to be the theatre event of 2025, this is a rare opportunity to catch this critically acclaimed production of Fiddler on the Roof from the powerhouse creative team directed by Jordan Fein (Oklahoma), choreographed by Julia Cheng (Cabaret) and designed by Tom Scutt (Winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Cabaret).
It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka where Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?
One of the greatest musicals of all time - If I Were A Rich Man, Tradition, Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset – Fiddler on the Roof is a classic musical of joy, revolution and community and an exuberant celebration of love and life.
Produced on the New York Stage by Harold Prince
Original New York Stage Production directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins
