Fiddler on the Roof

Fiddler on the Roof

Stage 42

The critically acclaimed National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene (NYTF) production of Fiddler on the Roof, directed by Oscar and Tony Award winner Joel Grey, transfers to Off-Broadway's Stage 42.

Performed entirely in the Yiddish language accompanied by English and Russian supertitles, the NYTF production marks the first time the Yiddish version has been performed in the United States.

The original Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof opened in 1964 and made history by becoming the first-ever musical theatre production to surpass 3,000 performances on the Great White Way. It was also the recipient of nine Tony Awards in 1965, including "Best Musical".

Talk about “Tradition”! Fiddler on the Roof has become somewhat of a New York tradition in itself, having seen no less than five Broadway revivals since its ground-breaking (and record-breaking) Broadway premiere in 1964. The most recent revival on the Great White Way, which opened in December 2015, was led by the incomparable Danny Burstein as Tevye, resulting in his sixth Tony Award nomination for his particularly affable portrayal. But now, New York City is experiencing a first, decades after the classic musical’s premiere.

Our Fiddler on the Roof Review

Review of Fiddler on the Roof (in Yiddish) at Stage 42

Full disclosure - I saw Zero Mostel in Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway in 1965. My sister and I sat audience left very close to the front and I think the tickets were $9.95. I wasn't crazy for Mostel who was doing schtick that made the audience howl but had nothing to do with the story. It bugged me. Even at 15 I was one smart shiksa.
