Franklin Light Opera presents Fiddler on the Roof

Event Flyer

 

Beloved for generations, Fiddler on the Roof is a timeless story of family, tradition, love, and change. Set in the small village of Anatevka, this Tony Award-winning musical follows Tevye and his family as they navigate a changing world while holding fast to the traditions that bind them together. Opening on Broadway in 1964, its universal themes struck such a powerful chord that it ran for a record-setting 3,242 performances. Featuring unforgettable favorites like “Tradition,” “Matchmaker,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” and “Sunrise, Sunset,” Fiddler on the Roof is a moving, joyful, and deeply human theatrical experience.

 

This production is directed by John Schultz, with music direction by Scott Brons, who will conduct a live 6-piece orchestra. Fiddler on the Roof is based on the stories of Sholem Aleichem by special permission of Arnold Perl. The book is by Joseph Stein with Music by Jerry Bock and Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. It was originally produced on the New York stage by Harold Prince and originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins.

 

Filled with humor, heart, dancing, and memorable music, this beloved classic is a show the whole family will enjoy!

 Operator error made it so only 2 of the 6 were able to see the Fiddler. I accidentally purchased the 2pm instead of 7pm so showing up at 7pm didn't work out well for us! What we saw of it was fabulous. 2 of us stayed until intermission and then met up with the rest of the group that didn't get in. We will try for another production!

 I was so impressed by the caliber of the acting and singing demonstrated by the performers. It has to have been challenging to perform on such a small stage but the cast overcame this obstacle and it did not affect the impact of the play. The musical accompaniment was excellent. Please continue to offer more plays like these and you could easily charge more! Bravo!

 Bravo to the entire cast!! I am grateful that I caught this absolutely incredible production. Having seen it across so many iconic Broadway runs—from the New York State Theatre to the Gershwin, Minskoff, and Broadway Theatre—I've truly witnessed the evolution of a masterpiece. The entire cast was nothing short of FABULOUS
