FIDDLER ON THE ROOF About the Show: Written by Joseph Stein and based on Sholem Aleichem’s short story Tevye and His Daughters, Fiddler on the Roof debuted at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway Sept. 22, 1964, and ran for 3,242 shows, becoming the longest-running musical in 1972. Fiddler on the Roof was one of the first Broadway musicals to deal with serious issues such as persecution, poverty and holding on to one’s beliefs. Set in 1905 in a small Jewish village in Russia, it is the story of dairyman Tevye and his attempts to preserve his family’s traditions in a changing world. Tevye’s daughter Tzeitel wants to marry a poor tailor instead of the middle-aged butcher her father has chosen for her in the tradition of arranged marriages. Tevye is forced to choose between his daughter’s happiness and his culture’s beloved traditions. The musical produced well-known songs such as Sunrise, Sunset, If I Were a Rich Man, and Matchmaker.
