Tickets for Fiddler on the Roof in London
What's Fiddler on the Roof about?
Immerse yourself in the magical and moving world of Fiddler on the Roof, the must-see musical in London!
Imagine a violinist, perched on a rooftop, playing a haunting melody while struggling to keep his balance. This is how we can describe life for Eastern European Jews at the turn of the 20th century: a delicate dance between tradition and change. In Anatevka, a small, imaginary village, the Jewish community live in a fragile harmony with their Orthodox neighbours, rooted in centuries-old customs where each role is well-defined: fathers work, mothers look after the home, sons learn a trade and daughters wait for marriage.
But the winds of change are blowing and Tevye, a charismatic milkman and devoted father, finds himself in the middle of a whirlwind. Raising his five daughters according to Jewish traditions, he never expected his heart to follow a different path from his ancestors. In Tsarist Russia in 1905, love and personal aspirations challenge conventions, forcing Tevye to question his beliefs. His struggle to reconcile faith, family and modernity is just as powerful today.
