About the work

Fiddler on the Roof

A dairyman in a Russian shtetl argues with God about his daughters, each of whom marries further outside the tradition than the last, and the village is emptied by decree before he has finished arguing. The songs are built out of the argument rather than around it, which is why it is still one of the most performed shows in the world.
