The timeless classic Fiddler on the Roof is next up from the talented performers at Rugby Theatre.

Featuring much-loved songs such as ‘If I Were a Rich Man,’ ‘Sunrise, Sunset’ and ‘Matchmaker,’ it tells the heartwarming and humorous story of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman, and his five headstrong daughters.

“This is an amazing and impactful story that is full of life and joy, through to heartache and utter disbelief,” says director Mark Tolchard.

A live orchestra, authentic costumes and stunning set design all help transport audiences to early 20th century Russia and the vibrant village of Anatevka, where the action takes place.
