Fiddler on the Roof is currently showing at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati through January 27th. This fresh production will ensure you remember all of the reasons you ever loved Fiddler on the Roof, while adding in a few new surprises along the way!
Tony Award winner Joseph Stein and Pulitzer Prize winners Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick have breathed life into this memorable classic. When you mix family, faith and tradition with a whirlwind of song and dance routines that leave you breathless by simply watching, you undoubtedly get Fiddler on the Roof! This play is also set in a time of great uncertainty for the Jewish community, so to see the hope and dedication shown throughout the performance is nothing short of inspirational.
Yehezkel Lazarov in the role of Tevye is beyond brilliant, floating seamlessly from scenes that ranged from uncontrollable moments of comedy to hard, dramatic lessons and heartbreak. Surely people are whispering that he might just be the best Tevye yet!
He is supported by a cast of talented performers, including Maite Uzal as Golde, Mel Weyn as Tzeitel and Jesse Weil as Motel, along with a troupe of absolutely mesmerizing dancers.
Additionally, you will be delighted with familiar favorites such as "If I Were a Rich Man," "Tradition," "Sunrise, Sunset," "To Life" and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker." Trust me, a few of these are going to stick in your head for days! I recommend that you download the soundtrack immediately.
Be sure to get your tickets now to enjoy every second of this outstanding performance, as you learn that old traditions can become new ways of life, and hope can spring from unfaltering faith and the love of a supportive community.
The Aronoff Center is the ideal venue to witness all that Broadway has in store for Cincinnati, so be sure to mark your calendar NOW for this unforgettable performance.
