The PTPA is very pleased to present our season opener – the classic musical FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, running from Friday, February 27th, through Sunday, March 8th!
WHAT
The award-winning tale of Tevye the dairyman and his family’s struggles in a changing Russia is a true musical theatre tradition - Winner of nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is an adaptation of Sholem Aleichem's short stories by Broadway legends, producer Harold Prince and director/choreographer Jerome Robbins; songwriters, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick; and bookwriter, Joseph Stein. Touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this universal show is a staple of the musical theatre canon. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof's universal themes of tradition and change cut across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. With iconic and beloved songs such as "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were a Rich Man" and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," Fiddler on the Roof is a legendary musical for very good reason!
The PTPA is also very excited to be offering DINNER & SHOW options for our performances on Saturday, March 7th and Sunday, March 8th - DINNER MENU TBA, so check back soon!
