Fiddler on the Roof

Fiddler on the Roof
City Springs Theatre
through October 22, 2023

Fiddler on the Roof hit the boards in NYC in the mid 60’s, as the musical set in the little Russian town of Anatevka circa 1905. It was based on a Yiddish story about Tevye the Dairyman and his family. The musical has been a top hit since the start. But, when we think of what is going on in this world today; maybe it isn’t such fiction.

Shuler Hensley is back in town to direct this one, and there is a cast of 30 players and even more in the production team. Jocob Fishel plays Tevye and his wife, Golde is played by Liza Jaine. The Yente is Courtenay Collins and the butcher Lazar Wolf is Thomas J. Cannon. And with a full orchestra under the baton of Miles Plant, this amazing cast dances, sings and works their way through the 16 memorable numbers.

The set is not the one your parents saw; but it works easily and moves the story along as expected. Everybody enjoys the production for who would not wish to be a rich man, with one staircase going up, another coming down, and a third one going nowhere, just for show?

East to get to at the great Byers Theatre with plenty of parking and accommodations. Show is a winner, so you may wish to get more info and tickets ASAP at CitySpringsTheatre.com
