About the Show

The classic musical is presented in a new way – in Yiddish with English and Russian supertitles.

Directed by Oscar and Tony Award®-winner Joel Grey, this production has been called "a richer, deeper interpretation” of Fiddler on the Roof, being entirely in Yiddish- the language Tevye and his family would have spoken.

Steven Skybell reprises his role as Tevye, a jolly and honest milkman balancing family, faith, and tradition in the small Russian shtetl of Anatevka.

Old-world traditions clash against new-world thought as Tevye’s daughters fall in love of their own volition in increasingly untraditional ways.
