Fiddler on the Roof on Tour
In Broadway terms, Fiddler on the Roof is a tradition unto itself. The much-loved story of Tevye the milkman's struggle to reconcile old Jewish ways with the modern world opened on Broadway in 1964 and held the record for longest-running musical — with 3,242 performances until it closed in 1970 — for nearly 10 years. The blockbuster won nine Tony Awards — including best musical, direction, and choreography — and has been revived on Broadway five times.
Producer Harold Prince hired director-choreographer Jerome Robbins to bring Sholom Aleichem's turn-of-the-19th-century Yiddish tales of life in the Anatevka shtetl, where existence is "as precarious as a fiddler on the roof," to the stage. Jerry Bock's music and Sheldon Harnick's lyrics illuminated the fading world of East European Jewry, while Joseph Stein's book brought a humorous taste of Jewish comedy's borscht belt. Painter Marc Chagall's blend of Jewish traditionalism and artistic modernism inspired the show's memorable look. Zero Mostel played Tevye, and Beatrice Arthur, of Maude television fame, portrayed Yente the matchmaker.
The most recent revival arrived in 2015, when director Bartlett Sher enhanced the show's authenticity with the help of Israeli-born choreographer Hofesh Shechter. The New York Times praised the new production as "superb" while noting how it recaptured the foot-stomping, hand-waving energy of the original.
Sher's revival, now on tour with Yehezkel Lazarov as Tevye and Maite Uzal as his wife Golde, is delighting audiences with celebratory songs like "Tradition," "If I Were a Rich Man," and "To Life (L'Chaim)," as well as beautiful melodies of love and loss such as "Sunrise, Sunset" and "Far From the Home I Love."
As part of a trend that began with The Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz, Fiddler on the Roof fans are dressing up as Anatevkans and belting out tunes during screenings of the show's 1971 film adaptation. Their participatory zeal reflects the devotion the musical has inspired and the power of its music.
"What can we do?" asks Tevye of Golde during a moment of doubt. "It's a new world." One solution is to return to the source for cultural renewal. We may not experience the same problems as shtetl Jews in 1905 did, but Fiddler on the Roof assures us that almost any difficulty can be surmounted with great music and exuberant dancing.

by Freeway Fred on 4/3/23Fox Performing Arts Center - RiversideThe show was very great, although the set pieces could have been better. Also, the Fox Theatre is not a good theatre for accessibility if you are disable.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Fiddler on Roof- amazing!
by VeroD on 4/2/23Fox Performing Arts Center - RiversideWhat a delight! The ensemble was incredible. The dancing and singing were out of this world. I was especially captivated by the lead, Tevye, played that night by Conor McGiffin..Wow! I would say the venue had one flaw: they didn't flicker the lights at intermission so there were many ppl filtering back in when the show had already restarted- not cool!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Fiddler on the Roof, OUTSTANDING
by KDM on 4/2/23Fox Performing Arts Center - RiversideWe were so delighted with the quality of this show. Every actor was fantastic! The main role (Tevye) was played by the understudy who was flawless. Our only complaint is that the venue did not let people know that the second act was about to begin, so people were entering after it had begun.

by KANOP on 4/1/23Fox Performing Arts Center - RiversideThe musical Fiddler on the roof was wonderful. The entire cast was spot on and where ever you have seats you won't disappointed.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show!!! Very talented actors.
by Sheryl on 3/16/23Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand OaksThe only thing that I found disappointing was there were no programs. Not fair to the actors. What if I was a casting director and wanted to get their names I would have no way of contacting them. You had a list up front before the show but that didn’t help much. Didn’t see it through all the crowds when show ended.

by p. l. on 3/15/23Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand OaksFiddler was great! The cast was so talented....great acting, great singing. They really moved the story along and moved the audience emotionally. I took my 8 year old grand-daughter...she loved it. I was really amazed to see how this play has held up over the years. Never a dull or stalled out moment. I am so glad we went!

Rating: 3 out of 5 The show was great, the venue needed a little more help.
by C. V. on 3/15/23Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand OaksThe performers and musicians were great! This was either sold out or nearly sold out and the venue should have prepared for that. The lines were ridiculous for entry, snack/drink bar and woman's bathroom. During intermission I would say that the one bar that was open was 70 people deep, I stood there the whole intermission instead of visiting with my family and came back empty handed. I also saw that the line for the women's bathroom was all the way to the snack bar. The sad thing is that they have another bar upstairs and it was closed. They really should have spent a few more bucks for snack/bar servers upstairs and they would have made that back ten fold or more importantly made their patrons happier.

by Lovemeagoodmusical on 3/14/23Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand OaksTopol and Zero Mostel would be proud of the work of this cast's Tevye. What a presence! The same can be said for all the performers- great actors, powerful singers, and wonderful dancers. Set designs, lighting, costumes all were first rate. Just a great day to laugh, to cry, and to marvel at the talent.
