Let your spirit soar and get swept away by one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Winner of nine Tony Awards, "Fiddler on the Roof" follows the life of Tevye, a poor dairyman in an early-1900s Russian village. Teyve attempts to honor and maintain the Jewish religious customs of his ancestors, but times are changing and his daughters are eager to follow the new ways.
