When Sholem-Aleichem first published his stories about Tevye the Milkman in 1894, he could not have imagined that they would one day be adapted into a musical phenomenon that would be seen and celebrated in every major city in the world. The character of Tevye first appeared on stage in a Yiddish theater in New York in 1917; but it was not until 1964 that Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick would create the show that would quickly become one of the most successful musicals of all time: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. This program will reveal how FIDDLER came into being and the wide-ranging impact it’s had in theaters around the world.
