At once both poignant and hilarious, Fiddler on the Roof explores the consequences of love and lust in a volatile world. Filled with sage (though humorously misquoted) advice, this spirited revival of one of Broadway’s longest running shows helps viewers balance the desires of heart and head. For anyone who’s ever questioned the phenomenon of love, this is a can’t-miss show.
Fiddler on the Roof
The Fox Theatre
Through Sunday July 24
Although a cautionary tale, Fiddler on the Roof gives audiences permission to love who and how they please. Noted as “both timeless and timely”, the story chronicles the lives of Tevye – a poor Russian milkman – his wife and their five daughters as they begin to break with tradition, following their hearts rather than the misguided advice of the town matchmaker. Lauded as one of Broadway’s greatest scores, this lyrical romp through war-torn Russia features favorite feel-good tunes such as ”If I Were a Rich Man” and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker”.
Fiddler on the Roof runs at the fabulous Fox Theatre through Sunday, July 24. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursday - Saturday and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. Two matinees are available – 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets start at $30 and the show is rated PG for some suggested violence.
